You cannot actually use democratic means to change the system from within. Even with high levels of organization, you still have to smash the capitalist state apparatus. Organizing requires at least creating a disciplined party that is trusted and supported by the majority of the revolutionary class, as a party can do very little by itself. The party’s job is to educate, organize, and lead the rest of the revolutionary class, not to itself be the revolution.
