A misconception some might have and that we want to nip right in the bud is that we are, as an org, critiquing politicians (from the Left) out of an interest in “Leftier than thou” postering, and with irrational or unrealistic goals.

This could not be further from the truth.

We’ve done our best up until this point to clearly outline how, at an institutional level, we can start to realistically achieve a truly democratic society that grants each individual maximum autonomy in the process of shedding or edging out exploitative methods and institutions.

One of the problems is that those “inside of the box” tend to get so caught up in bureaucratic bread and circuses there that they are unable to see solutions lying “outside of the box” that coalesce with creative approaches to challenging the powers that be all across the board.

Leftist politicians with sizable networks or platforms (with Leftist celebs) could be using said networks or platforms (along with technology) to help the working class mobilize for the building of an alternative, democratic economic base, as opposed to *just* electoral politics.

It is 100% possible for people on the “inside” to find synergy with us and our partners all throughout the country, but this will call for bold, fearless action, and an “out of the box” mindset that deals with the gravity of our collective situation in a serious but creative way.

In this moment, we need those with a voice to be more.

In this moment, we need those with a platform to go further.

In this moment, we need coalitions like we’ve never seen before.

In this moment, we must dig deeper than ever before.
