  • most of the point has been about the viewpoint we are choosing for the words

    I guess so. I would say revolutionary activity is any form of workers uniting against the capitalist class and building class consciousness to get us closer to a revolution, or the revolution itself.

    multiple actions that don’t cause a huge ruckus are the backbone of the change and in fact the important part

    Can you give examples of this? I have only seen significant change in favour of the working class when the working class has inhibited the ability for the capitalist class to go about it’s regular oppressive lifestyle.

    everybody except affluent white people is in a worse situation than they would be if “the most left wing of the large parties” had governed with consistency in any western country

    I have two issues with this. First of all they haven’t and they likely never will be considering the ruling capitalist class has complete control over the press. It’s not worth falling into the idealist trap of hoping an outcome will happen just because it will benefit everyone. Secondly Even when “left” parties do get elected they always succumb to the coercive forces of the capitalist class and never have any opportunity to impact any change.

    Also, elections are by far the best situation for the spreading of political ideas.

    This is an interesting point. Revolutionary parties do often run elections inside liberal democracies, although they don’t do this with the expectation they will gain power within the capitalist system and reform it they do this to further spread revolutionary ideas.
