    I thought when you were talking about fighting for beneficial policy what you meant was running electoral races trying to elect progressive candidates. IMO the better way to describe a revolutionary state is that it’s a whole new system with a different structure, it’s not just a matter of “policy.” Talking purely in terms of policy is missing the forest for the trees.

      Can you please explain to me how the whole new better system works without policy?? You are in the forest. The trees are around you. You are being attacked by trees and say no look at the sea and there is no sea. You’re missing the trees, the forest, and the sea actually, for just blind flailing
