  • The only based and true opinion in this whole thread. 🙏 The people voting you down are the living proof that they never even read a single page of Lenin 😭

  • No ML would see any benefit in individual terrorist attacks, and no ML would disregard the power voting can have in regard to organizing and shattering the belief of “we can change the system from within”.

  • No, politics is not random, politics is what economic elites want. That’s why Marxist would say it’s a “dictatorship of the bourgeoisie”.

    Here a direct quote from the famous 2014 study by Martin Gilens & Benjamin Page:

    Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

    Disclaimer: There are sources that say this study has some oversimplifications and claim that at least “limited leverage” is possible.

    But we shouldn’t settle for just limited leverage as people. Unfortunately, neither voting nor individual arson attacks will change that.

    Instead we should see voting and (the limited effect it has on politics) as our tool to make more and more people realize that big business ruling everything isn’t an error in the system, but its core function. It always existed to protect the interest of the economic elites. We need to understand that the system has to be replaced not fixed.
