    I'll likely get clapped for saying this but this is why having openly socialist / socialist-adjacent people in Congress/local leadership is important. The appeal to authority is such a strong legitimizing force.

      I agree and it’s pretty standard Marxist strategy, Marx talks about using electoral politics as a means for socialists to spread class consciousness in the manifesto

        The key is not to make the mistake that by climbing through the ranks of the bourgeois state we can bypass the necessity of dismantling it. The bourgeois state must be smashed, and electoral work is only useful insofar as it abets that longer term project.
