    A two party system. Americans believe voting for blue capitalists or red capitalists makes them free. SwAc should continue the illusion with two socialist parties that can be voted out for the other as a steam valve. I envision a roughly centralizing communist “red” party, and a roughly decentralizing anarchist “black” (or maybe green) party. Neither would allow a hint of liberalization and will bend over backwards to purge liberals from their ranks lest their opponents call them liberals.

    Love to completely change my approach to building socialism and the general societal and economical organization every 8 years or even worse any side not even having enough political capital and power in the existance of the other to even attempt their thing on time spans big enough to matter. The other 2 are mostly good ideas but the first one is the most disfunctional political structure a socialist project can chose to have and would go wrong in horrific ways. And either way Both tendencies are foundementaly opposed to multi party parliementary electoral processes in any way we imagine or experience them today. N

      Political capital isn't real.

      But all you have to do is adapt the idea to be a little more like what we have now: the parties aren't really all that different in much but rhetoric. In office they do almost the same things.
