    That’s a monkey’s paw wish right there. Electoralism was our alternative to blood in the streets, I would really prefer no blood in the streets.

      Me too, but the rich are using violence against us along with the worst political tactics. It’d be pretty hard to convince me it isn’t necessary at this point.

        I’m worried more that it won’t be effective. Power is a numbers game, be it guns or dollars or people. Presumably, the strength of the left is that, properly communicated, it’s the inevitable will of the majority of the people. That’s the weapon.

        The problem with the left isn’t that the message is wrong, it’s that it’s not being communicated effectively to the people that empower it. If the people were unified, and organized, nothing could stand in their way.
