      Again, there are actions important for a revolutionary movement that are not revolutionary in themselves. To put a historical example: Lenin’s activities in London were vital for the Russian Revolution, they were not revolutionary actions, since all he did was legal in the UK at the time. So the answer is a clear no, the PSL is not doing less for the revolutionary movement. But the PSL is not, by my knowledge carrying out revolutionary actions. Perhaps you can point me to a specific action you consider revolutionary.

        I think you’re more concerned with labels than what work advances revolution and what work does not, which is my point.

          It’s not that I am more concerned with it, it’s that the whole point of the post is to deride people for choosing voting over the revolution. So my answer was that right now nobody is carrying out revolutionary acts. You seem to think that they are and therefore the point focuses on what such an act is. It is not that I don’t see value in other actions, just that they don’t fall in the category of the car in the picture going straight.

            People are organizing for revolution right now. That’s practical work, and is necessary. Voting does not do that. Neither does random assassination. Simple as that.
