Here's a constructive question for Hexbears who don't believe in making electoral politics a core part of their strategy. (Disclosure: I am one of these users)

How do you incrementally increase the power of your movement, without just trying to set off The Big Uprising that brings the whole bourgeois state down? You need strong organizations or federations or alliances to do this, and you need a lot of preparedness, contingency plans, and luck. What is there to do in the meantime besides just take long shots at the big prize, and what do we do to meaningfully increase our chances of making the long shots work?

If electoral campaigns don't bring lasting gains of people and energy to the movement, what does?

To me the problem is not electoral campaigns, it is working within bourgeois parties (Dems) that’s the issue. You will never build a movement on the foundation of bourgeois orgs.

Very upset that both people I asked about the NYPD union negotiations refused to answer my question. SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER YOU COWARDS yells-at-cloud

If you don't, it means that I am correct in my assessment thay Mamdani cannot freeze the police budget, and he probably knows that.
