I’m not celebrating liberals who are ok with western social safety nets. What I am saying is that progressivism is direct improvement of the material condition for millions of people. Capitalism is a fuck and electoralism can not fix the root of its problems. Empowering more people and exposing them to both the problem they currently don’t even understand exists while also showing them the obvious solution is how you turn your stagnant leftist status quo and completely reactionary population into a mobilized leftist movement which seeks to end exploitation of the global south and instead liberate the global working class from oppression.

I know incremental change isn’t real and you can’t vote away the power of the bourgeoisie, but you can utilize what wiggle room electoralism grants you to the advantage of the disadvantaged in the long term. I would love to end electoralism and capitalist exploitation tomorrow, but what few tools are granted to me today would be stupid to not utilize for our own benefit in pursuit of one day dismantling the systems of exploitation that be.
