Top Democrats insist that they’re unfazed by the party’s forming a “Zohran Mamdani wing,” after the New York City mayor’s stunningly successful primary night.
Socialists should actually just have a revolution and rewrite the constitution to prevent reactionaries like the DNC and GOP from ever holding political power ever again.
Without securing a popular mandate through an election? People are tired of elites rewriting the rules, how exactly is a vanguard going to be viewed as legitimate?
Well obviously a revolution cannot succeed without mass class consciousness, and secondly, vanguard parties are made up of the working class, not elites. You can look at the Worker’s Party of Belgium for an example of how to build a modern vanguard party within a capitalist system that maintains the trust of the working class. For example, their members are not allowed to live on more than the average Belgian wage, even if they are high earners. The extra money gets put back in their coffers to perform mutual aid work, such as their large network of medics and doctors.
