As for your point, I don't think it is an overstatement to say that virtually every political strategy available to the left has been tried at one point or another. Since we don't have socialism, I guess they can all be termed a failure.
Yet people struggle and occassionally wring concessions from capital. So if mass movements are the only "successful" strategy, in a sense, than the left should do whatever improves the chances for mass movements to develop and succeed, and IMHO that happens outside the DP.
