Ruth Webb used to supplement her grocery shopping with a monthly trip to a local food pantry, where she would get fresh produce like potatoes, onions and carrots.
Exactly. It's a lack of organization. The American people burned down a fucking police station, the revolutionary potential is definitely out there. Leftists need to start building parties for duel power. Start a soup kitchen or something and keep building up.
Leftists need to start building parties for working class power. We don't want dual power, we want power for the working class to the exclusion of the capitalists.
Dual power is an untenable position, but it is what happens between the buildup of proletarian power and the collapse of bourgeois power. I don't think there is any way around it aside from some sort of cataclysm which completely erases the power of the state as we know it.
Sure, it's possible, but IMO not a forgone conclusion, that there will be some unstable and transitional period of concurrent and competing power structures, but again, that's not actually what we want to to achieve.

No argument there. We're trying to abolish class, not re-invent the Petrograd Soviet.
