  “organize” is vague. I’ve been doing some activism locally. But let’s say, for the sake of argument, there is a huge socialist revolution in America. One that somehow didn’t involve voting and the government at all, something completely outside of the system. The thing with that sort of revolution is that it takes time. Not only to build, but to actually do something when it’s started. It would probably take more than a year, probably more than four years, to effectively take over the country. So during this revolutionary period, let’s also say you’re a secret revolutionary so you can get into the ballot box. You’re on a secret mission and you can change the election results. You need to do this in such a way that it’s not obvious that the election has been tampered with, so a third party candidate is right out. If they saw one was rejected to the presidentcy they would throw the whole election out the window and you’d also get caught, so it’s pointless. So you’re left with generic Republican and generic Democrat. Generic Democrat is doing what generic Democrat does, a lot of lip service to the center and light left, still is in cahoots with big business, saying we can make peace with the revolutionaries, and passively for Israel. Generic Republican is doing what generic Republican is doing, overtly says they are going to attack minorities, overtly saying they are going to crack down on revolutionaries, obviously going to be catering to the interests of capital, and is extremely pro genocide. So, secret agent, which one do you rig the election for, for the betterment of everyone and the revolution?
