This is the juvenile reaction of someone who's just done nothing but complain and demand his whole life and never actually had to do anything. In those rare moments when a left movement has achieved power, its leaders turn to each other and say, "Uh, what the fuck do we do now?" Even short of taking power, you'd have no answer to someone who asked, "Ok, wiseguy, what would you do?" Responding "That's not for me to decide" won't cut any mustard. But your position that the point of political agitation isn't to convince the unconvinced is well known. And damned convenient, considering.
