The System Cannot Change From Within

In the present moment, much is said in leftist movements about the need to define effective strategy. But what does that look like in our current reality?

Many of these movements concern themselves primarily with strategies like electoralism or trying to "move establishment parties to the left". However, these strategies fail to accurately grasp the function of liberal democracy within the overall structure of capitalism. Without genuinely altering the economic base of society - and thus its class relations - movements seeking to be revolutionary will inevitably fail to meaningfully move society in a more just direction.

When the stakes are as high as they are, we cannot afford incremental or superficial change: climate change and imperialist war - both driven by capitalism - are existential threats. These resources provide varied critiques of liberalism - from foundational Marxist texts to the sheepdogging of Zohran Mandani, identity politics, the dead end of electoralism and more.
