    multiple actions that don’t cause a huge ruckus are the backbone of the change and in fact the important part

    Can you give examples of this?

    Organizing, coordinating, building social structures and cohesive support systems. spreading information and creating conciousness.

    Reversing your points on elections:

    Even when “left” parties do get elected they always succumb to the coercive forces of the capitalist class and never have any opportunity to impact any change.

    True. Still not reaching real change does not mean complete still stand. And even still stand is better than getting worse. Gay and trans rights throughout the west world have depended on left wing parties. Women’s reproduction right, the same. In the obvious Trump case, nearly everybody is worse off from him being there. This is a comparative improvement.

    First of all they haven’t and they likely never will be considering the ruling capitalist class has complete control over the press.

    And now we arrive to where most conversation with meconverge: the biggest problem right now in the world bar none is information. Information shapes our reality and we simply cannot make good choices without good information and we definitely can’t agree if our input differs wildly. This is also why I am immensely frustrated with everyone and everything, since nobody is addressing it or acting against it (maybe they are and I am just not informed). Attached to it is the fact that the onus on being well informed is always put on the individual, while knowing how humans work it has to lie on the system to be effective. That’s actually the reason why in this discussion I put the bar on revolutionary action to what breaks the information barrier.
