I mean, that only works if you have a substantial base of supporters who are already willing to endure significant hardship for the cause.
Considering we lack a substantial number of people who are willing to turn out for one day just to vote, I’m thinking that’s putting the cart before the horse.
Me too, but the rich are using violence against us along with the worst political tactics. It’d be pretty hard to convince me it isn’t necessary at this point.
I’m worried more that it won’t be effective. Power is a numbers game, be it guns or dollars or people. Presumably, the strength of the left is that, properly communicated, it’s the inevitable will of the majority of the people. That’s the weapon.
The problem with the left isn’t that the message is wrong, it’s that it’s not being communicated effectively to the people that empower it. If the people were unified, and organized, nothing could stand in their way.
I’ve got an idea, and history would agree.
Violence.

I really don’t like that you’re right, but you’re right. Let’s just hope that it will be at some point.
That’s a monkey’s paw wish right there. Electoralism was our alternative to blood in the streets, I would really prefer no blood in the streets.

I can’t argue with that, I guess the next question is how we can get there.
What can we do?
