  • Bourgeois politics/elections is quite simply another battlefront on which we must fight. To say that you will not participate in it is to say that it is a battlefront you are willing to concede.

    HOWEVER! Participation does not mean participating within a Bourgeois party!

    It means creating your own political party, in which you do not at all expect to get elected and in which you treat the bourgeois parties as your enemies! Any reform that you push for or work to have enacted (perhaps even with the assistance of bourgeois parties) should be for the sole purpose of raising class consciousness and hastening the revolution!

    This is elaborated upon by Lenin in “What is to be Done?” and “Left-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder”.

    "Liberalism manifests itself in various ways.

    To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

    To indulge in irresponsible criticism in private instead of actively putting forward one’s suggestions to the organization. To say nothing to people to their faces but to gossip behind their backs, or to say nothing at a meeting but to gossip afterwards. To show no regard at all for the principles of collective life but to follow one’s own inclination. This is a second type."
