    so the primary focus of any organization should be on grassroots struggle and growth, cadre training, and organizing

    All of those things can be done in parallel with election. Especially local ones.

    You keep beating this vague and impossible to actually define “.ml”

    Its not vauge. Your dogma makes you closed minded.

      I never said resources cannot be allocated to both elections and organizing. If you do organizing work, you understand that your resources, both monetary and in terms of volunteer labor, are exceptionally limited. The position is that because elections cannot bring about socialism, the bulk of the work should be done on grassroots organizing and struggle.

      You keep insinuating a binary that nobody is arguing for, using a strawman you call “.mls.” To begin with, Lemmy.ml is neither an ideology nor a party, it’s a site commonly used by Marxists. Why not just say “Marxists” or “Marxist-Leninists?” Because you’d have to engage with Marxism and Marxism-Leninism directly, not through a strawman.
