Someone looking to wield political power for the betterment of the world had better fucking understand that they must not stand in the way of the people exercising our real power (like shutting down profit through strikes & direct action).

If someone wants to run for office in my state on the idea that they will participate in government as a representative of the interests of the people against corporations & oligarchs, more power to them, as long as they remember what they are doing & why.
