Reply #29: The term "revolutionary" is used to differentiate between the Bernsteinian idea of [View All]

electoral progressive socialism (social democracy)--that through small incremental changes, one can "sneak" socialism past the ruling class. Unfortunately, the ruling class is a bit smarter than that. They do seem to notice when we try to pass initiatives like single payer, etc.

The goal of a revolutionary socialist organization is to build an international network of workers and soldiers towards mass global strikes and workplace occupations, after which local strike committees would be formed to reactivate production for the benefit of people. This particular organization is not Maoist or anarchist. It does not believe in using small bands of terrorists to "act for the people." It's goal is to work with other leftist organizations to put together the largest mass movement possible towards changing the system.

I agree with you, however. It is justice. And, unfortunately, we can't "vote" someone into office who is going to take care of this for us. I believe we have to change this system ourselves. Some people think "revolution" is utopian. I think its utopian to believe you're going to get any good out of this nightmare of a system.
