politics

The difference is that demcent is binding and doesn't permit "rotating villain" style bullshit which liberals need to prevent good things from happening.

A party whip can only be used to ensure lethal aid is sent and wages never rise!

"Ooh, scary Democratic Centralism! You can't possibly be actually suggesting to run a serious modern political party that way!"

"DemCen is an excellent strategy! Sounds like you don't read enough Lenin, buddy. Need a source to read his stuff from? I can get you that, and a general communist reading list, if that's why you don't understand his methods."

But was the cost worth it? All those dead Romanovs, going to space in 30 years, losing serf-er dude status...

"You could not prevent your inevitable failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me."

Many such cases in Poland.

Nothing else we've tried ever actually wins the class struggle for the workers.

The facts are the facts

Jeremy, run!

Not really. He had a genuine loyalty to the labour party that none of the current leadership ever had. Like if instead of ratfucking him they'd told him it would be good for labour if he fell on the sword, he might have done it literally. But he was also always on the very far left of the party, and advocated on multiple occasions to open the party up to more radical policies and membership.

Corbyn is as good as you're ever gonna get in bourgeois parliamentary democracy, and he's been actively working politically for the left for longer than most people here have been alive, and for that he deserves credit. But he's not Lenin.
