the basic leninist position on electoralism is that it's a good opportunity for agitprop and trying to get as much power as you can under the existing structures.
this was the basic leninist position 100 years ago on the other side of the world, but can we truly say it applies to 2024 US politics?
La Riva's first electoral campaigns were in the 80's with the WWP. 40 years of electoral campaigns, hundreds of thousands of hours of volunteer labor, and millions of dollars have been put towards these efforts.
but can we truly say it applies to 2024 US politics?
oh no, not at all, i'm sympathetic to the vanguardists but there's a reason i don't feel convicted to join a party. i just don't think the psl are liars for doing so. i think they're perhaps dumb and ineffective. i think they're perhaps even bad at vanguardism, that they're not even maxing out on what they could reach in amerikkka because of poor organizing tactics. i don't see this as a reason to accuse them of insincerity, which to be clear, i don't think you have done. i appreciate the productive argument that maybe a vanguard party ought to attempt being known and appealing to workers.
