The marxist strategy for electoralist entryism, was to form our own working class parties and use the electoral pulpit to spread socialist ideas.
It never succeeded in actually electing candidates and turning any state based on bourgeios parliamentarism, into a socialist one, in any country.
Allende came closest to actually reform into socialism and look, what they did to him.
what makes me mad is that zohran is honestly pretty close to that, sanders or AOC never said anything close to "seizing the means of production", makes his moves towards moderation much more frustrating
He is apart of the DSA more than he's apart of the DNC. The DSA is flawed, but it's definitely an organization sitting in the ring, waiting for a chance to take power.
The Marxist Leninist strategy is to elect socdems to power WHO WE CAN OVERTHROW
We need soft liberals in power WHO HESITATE at the crucial moment the socialists strike, liberals who are allergic to exercising power and violence, who bend the knee to growing worker power and don't realize the danger they're in until it too late
That is when socialism explodes onto the national stage
In marxism electoralism is a strategy of maneuvers and positioning, not transformation or "evolution" like the old and new socdems claim
this didnt work in germany, SPD was very fucking willing to use the freikorps to crush the communists
Because German socialists capitulated to the SPD and not the other way around, which allowed liberals who were not allergic to violence to take power
The Germans mistook the SPD for a transformative workers party instead of something that had to be maneuvered into place and supplanted
Ironically the SPD flipped the script on the socialists and out-maneuvered them to their doom
