    I guess I may as well be a vanguardist then.

    I don't understand your graphic ckaihatsu. But then, I never understand your graphics.

    @ Red Star Rising: do you believe that the working class needs a revolutionary organisation, or do you think it can overthrow capitalism and the state without one?

    Well, in this case it's meant to de-individualize the context of politics. RSR is putting forth a conventional conception of power, including hierarchy, whereas mine shows that what matters is the *overall* result, such as what policies are in place, and what kinds of strategies a particular politics might support.

    The leftward direction of the political spectrum is always ready to support its own chosen strategies, but the realization of such is usually denied by the relatively-right side of the spectrum which simply 'takes the low road' and compromises potential gains that leftism favors.
