departs when full
I love this detail.
People are voting for Reform like they are different to the Conservatives…
Such a great passage.
Was this If We Burn or Jakarta Method?
Jakarta Method
Another more recent example is “21th century socialism” in latin america, one by one they’ve gone to shit. Even the ones still standing are one election cycle away from going to shit, it’s all it takes to disassemble a reformist path.
And even if they triumph again and again, what’s stopping an opportunist from slipping through the ranks when the people have no shot at pulling the fucker back down?
Which is literally what happened in Ecuador.
- get on board for revolution
- read up on theory
- learn about the mass line
- do mass line
- masses demand reform.
Gotta square this circle. You definitely don’t want to go down the track of being co-opted by democrats. But you absolutely cannot mobilize the masses by just telling them “wait for the revolution”.
When the masses don’t want revolution, check if they are looting the stuff of people in other countries. If they do, you know where to look for real revolutionary liberation potential.
theres no such thing as waiting for a revolution
it has to be built, and its a lot of work.
luckily if we have a lot of people on board, we can divide the work up and do quite a bunch.
There’s gonna be things that can be attended by direct action (union organizing, literacy, breakfast program, that kind of thing) and things that can’t. I think what leftist leaders should do about the things that can only be tackled by national reform is to encourage people to vote for the progressive democrats where it makes sense; worst case, they lose and we learn nothing, but best case they win and when everyone sees them fail to change anything, it makes it a lot easier to sell people on further revolutionary action.
