    Syndicalism is literally siezing the means, it isn’t reform. What do you think Revolution is? Bombing everyone?

    Biden being less terrible doesn’t make him a force for good.

      No, but him being adequate to not dragging leftists out behind the barn and having them shot is a necessary basis for any sort of improvement.

      Bombing everyone seems inefficient to the goal, which in a revolution is overthrow of the existing order. I’m not aware of any peaceful overthrowings of existing orders, can you point to some?

            Depends. The Russian Revolution was fairly bloodless, and overthrew the Monarchy. The USSR obviously had a whole slew of different issues, but was dramatically better than the Monarchy.

            How do you think Electoralism could achieve genuine change?
