I think it is theoretically possible for us to have allies working within the political system, if they are not bought or otherwise forced to bend the knee & compromise.
The biggest problem I see wit...
If someone is willing & able to operate within the sphere of politics to try to materially improve people's lives & curtail the power of the wealthy, then I think that's good.
The issue is when they treat political power as THE truly legitimate form of power.
Political power is just a lever we can try to pull. That's it. It's not because "the right way to conduct change is from within". It's because the right way to conduct change is through whatever means possible.
