Blue Train posted:its american left wing, yea You have a communist party. They're left wing. Just because they aren't electorally popular doesn't remove them from the political spectrum. I feel like people just call the democrats left wing to assuage their guilt at voting for neoliberal dickheads. I mean, don't take it personally or anything. We have the same problem in the UK with Labour, who abandoned their barely-socialist fabian credentials in favour of social democracy as well. I'll still probably vote for them as the lesser of two evils (owing to a lack of commie candidates in my area), but I don't for a second imagine they have the best interests of the poor or marginalised minorities in mind. They're friends of business. They're just not quite as comically evil as the conservative party.

Just because they aren't electorally popular doesn't remove them from the political spectrum. they're effectively removed when they've never been elected to any federal office at all, and a cursory google search says no state position either e: also I don't vote because they're all neoliberal assholes at the best

Unelectable parties can act as pressure groups on parties which are electable - they'll often coordinate activity to join larger groups on the same part of the spectrum and attempt to drag them in the direction they want. They can also work through trade unions and other labour movements (speaking specifically of commies here, but eco groups do the same sort of things). Organised political activity exists in a bigger sphere than just holding office. Some marxist groups reject state power entirely and refuse to run in elections on the basis that the state is inherently a tool for the subjection of the working class. They are usually still actively promoting their ideology in other ways.

gently caress Hillary and gently caress whichever "mainstream" Republican makes it past the primaries. I'm done with voting and playing this bullshit game. I'd rather vote in a tea party candidate. Only because the absolute insanity that would result may finally kick us back into gear. Barring violent rebellion I think the only hope we have is breaking the egg to make an omelette. This kicking the can a little further down the road needs to stop. There is literally no one who can get us out of this mess. As long as we are playing the same political game with the current rules, it's utterly useless.

We have already said above, and shall show more fully later, that the theory of Marx and Engels of the inevitability of a violent revolution refers to the bourgeois state. The latter cannot be superseded by the proletarian state (the dictatorship of the proletariat) through the process of 'withering away", but, as a general rule, only through a violent revolution. The panegyric Engels sang in its honor, and which fully corresponds to Marx's repeated statements (see the concluding passages of The Poverty of Philosophy and the Communist Manifesto, with their proud and open proclamation of the inevitability of a violent revolution; see what Marx wrote nearly 30 years later, in criticizing the Gotha Programme of 1875 when he mercilessly castigated the opportunist character of that programme) — this panegyric is by no means a mere “impulse”, a mere declamation or a polemical sally. The necessity of systematically imbuing the masses with this and precisely this view of violent revolution lies at the root of the entire theory of Marx and Engels. The betrayal of their theory by the now prevailing socialchauvinist and Kautskyite trends expresses itself strikingly in both these trends ignoring such propaganda and agitation. The supersession of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without a violent revolution imo
