Things are definitely going to be different this time you guys, just one more election, if we build up lots of socialist electoral power they aren’t going to just arrest and execute all the leftwingers like they have all over the world countless times since 1917, that can’t happen here because this place is special.
Meh, you can’t stop trying either.
Besides, with modern social media the way it is, making citizen disapear in the west isn’t as easy at it used to be.
It needs to happen in Canada first tho, so that they herds in the US get used to the idea. Its a lot harder to keep the propaganda up when you can just cross the border and see with your own eyes that yes, free healthcare works.
Alongside other avenues like labor organizing, tenant work and mutual aid.
Elections are part of building class counciousness and showing the limits of the bourgeois state. The backlash to DSA’s (frankly moderate) success is part of that.
If you want a revolutionary base to be organized, this is part of the route to that, even if it will get ugly and is full of contradictions

This is Paris Commune erasure
and 1848 revolution erasure
We know the history. Nonetheless, the only way out is through.
Through elections?
Democracy grows through a barrel or something…
Scattered sects and armed individuals are weak no matter their weapons.
Power comes from organized masses who are able and willing to use force.
