The Right keeps winning because the Right focuses on what actually gives them power.
A televangelist named Jerry Falwell created the 'Moral Majority' back in the 1970s. They had a simple plan. If the local GOP club had had twenty people at their last meeting, the MMs would show up with fifty. They started small, getting county clerks, sheriffs, and dog catchers elected. Soon, they were getting Congress members elected.
Mamdani and AOC figured out how to work inside the DNC power structure.
imho, stop debating which Utopia is best and work on actual progress in the real world. And by 'actual progress' I mean winning elections.
Fuck no. Elections will never bring the change needed because the system cannot be dismantled from inside it. Stop wasting your time on them and focus on what will actually destroy capitalism - revolution.
I'll bet conservatives love it when you say this. "Throw away one of our tools, it's dirty"
Why not vote before the revolution to make changes while you can and work towards the revolution as well?
They do.
Revolution has historically happened between factions of people already in power, and has not always lead to long-lasting positive change.
The Right keeps winning because the Right focuses on what actually gives them power.
Where does it say you can't work on voting and revolution at the same time?
The right wins because the system is right. They literally cannot lose no matter who wins an election, capitalism will still be there.
You can vote because it takes a few minutes to do, effort however should not be wasted on campaigning or platforming and instead applied to revolutionary goals.
