    The marxist strategy for electoralist entryism, was to form our own working class parties and use the electoral pulpit to spread socialist ideas.

    It never succeeded in actually electing candidates and turning any state based on bourgeios parliamentarism, into a socialist one, in any country.

      The Marxist Leninist strategy is to elect socdems to power WHO WE CAN OVERTHROW

      We need soft liberals in power WHO HESITATE at the crucial moment the socialists strike, liberals who are allergic to exercising power and violence, who bend the knee to growing worker power and don’t realize the danger they’re in until it too late

      That is when socialism explodes onto the national stage

      In marxism electoralism is a strategy of maneuvers and positioning, not transformation or “evolution” like the old and new socdems claim

          Because German socialists capitulated to the SPD and not the other way around, which allowed liberals who were not allergic to violence to take power

          The Germans mistook the SPD for a transformative workers party instead of something that had to be maneuvered into place and supplanted

          Ironically the SPD flipped the script on the socialists and out-maneuvered them to their doom
