Vaush considers the main objective of the left moving forward to push the Democratic party left via entryism, and to force social democratic reforms by making up a large enough wing of the Democratic Party to wield power.Permalink On twitter.com

Vaush not only believes dual power and independent left organizations are secondary, he just flat out doesn't think they'll work. He said as much in his conversation with Zoe, where whenever she would bring up syndicalism or direct action movements he'd dismiss them as...Permalink On twitter.com
