glad you like it ^^. if you want to: posting in the corresponding communities would go a great way of establishing them further

The revolutionary struggle is the very antithesis of the parliamentary[-only] struggle. In Germany, for four decades we had nothing but parliamentary “victories.” We practically walked from victory to victory. And when faced with the great historical test of August 4, 1914, the result was the devastating political and moral defeat, an outrageous debacle and rot without parallel. To date, revolutions have given us nothing but defeats. Yet these unavoidable defeats pile up guarantee upon guarantee of the future final victory.

So-called democratic socialism is a form of reformist liberal revisionism. The answer of reform vs revolution has been answered for more than a century, with the revolutionary side being proven right and right again by history and current societal developments. Bourgeois democracies are designed in a way that makes systemic change - especially of the economic base of society - virtually impossible (at least in the imperial core of western/northern nations) and even if a movement manages to bring relevant change through the ballot, it is either instantly reversed or faced out over the years by following legislatures but more often than not results in a (fascist) coup instigated by capitalist-imperialist powers, with the leaders getting the award which most decent folk get in the aftermath of such a situation: a bullet in the head

If you want more information on this, I suggest you look up the following:

• The history of Salvador Allende and the Chilean Coup of 1973

• What happened/is happening to the implementation of the nordic model of social democracy (spoiler: it has been largely dismantled thanks to developments starting in the 90s)

• What all the huge leftist parties of the 2nd Internationale in Europe did in prelude to WW1 (spoiler: they gave up any principles they might have had and replaced them with national chauvinism and support for their respective national bourgeoisie)

• The history and development - or rather degeneration - of all major western but mostly european communist parties (most notably the PCI (CP of Italy) and the PCF (CP of France))
