Edit- y’all are getting salty. Clearly I agree with Lenin that revolutionaries should work in reactionary parliaments. But that is not the same as the DSA who think electoralism is the key to meaningful change, and not a combination of legal and illegal strategies.
We still need to build leftist power structures inside and outside of the electoral system. Obviously voting alone isn't enough, but having political leaders is hugely important.
Is anyone building any power structure outside of the electoral system yet? Otherwise it's putting the cart before the horse.
The DSA is building connections with labor power / unions, which is pretty hilarious given OP.
Yeah unions that are all totally captured by the Dems, greeeeat
lol look who's never done union organizing.
What's your plan for building power structures? Both electoralism and dual power are out, apparently, regardless of strategy and tactics.
Yeah how many prison guards have you recruited to the union?
My question was not rhetorical. What do you plan to do to build power structures in the imperial core if you rule out both electoralism and dual power out of hand?
I don't plan to build power structures in the imperial core, I intend to destroy power structures in the imperial core.
With what? You defeat power structures with power structures. Otherwise it's just you doing terrorism.
