I hope you all do well, but I don't understand why a party calling itself Marxist-Leninist is running in elections. Didn't Lenin say in "State and Revolution" that revolution, not electoral reform, is the only way to get to socialism?

its because the CPC-ML are not marxist-leninist they are centred around hardial bains, do u know that there members even have to study his writings, not marxs or lenins but hardial bains', they are to cult like, now the Communist party of canada on the other hand is not about individual ppl but the cause of communism
Not that you'd be bias or anything...and the CPC takes part in elections too, so this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
"In reality, the difference is, that the savage lives within himself while social man lives outside himself and can only live in the opinion of others, so that he seems to receive the feeling of his own existence only from the judgement of others concerning him."- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"The emancipation of the working class must be the work of the workers themselves.”- Flora Tristan
"Both those on the East and those on the West should be clear with the fact that we are not moving away from our road that we beat the path for in '48. That is to say, that we have our own ways. We always bravely say what is right on this side and what is not, and what is right on the other side, and what is not. It should be clear to everyone that we cannot be an appendage to anybody's politics, that we have our own point of view and that we know the worth of what is right, and what is not right."- Josip Tito
Obviously the CPC, nor CPC-ML never plan to get elected anytime soon! They're both revolutionary parties.
Elections are only a small part of what revolutionary parties do, but for good reason.
It's a means of propoganda, it's a good way to get mainstream publicity. I'm a member of the Young Communist League and I've noticed that we get a lot more interest and applications coming in during the elections!
When communists go to all-candidates meetings, the push debate further left. These bourgeois party candidates are not criticized NEARLY enough otherwise.
And it shows that there's an alternative, the NDP/bloc aren't the only left parties!
Doesn't running a candidate just reinforce the myth that voting can actually change anything?
I mean, I see the need for publicity, but why reinforce the myth?
Well it's no surprise that bourgeois elections will never make the change we want it to.
But it's still important to show your support, let winning party know we exist and we're not going away! We need to put up a fight!
Besides, if I had to choose from one of the four big business parties, I would think even more that voting won't change anything!
If the working class really wants favourable change,
Don't vote for the big business parties!
Here is the Communist Party of Canada's release on the election:
