Wojtek: So the question should be phrased as "what a minority (such left wingers) should do in a majoritarian winner-takes-all politics? The answer is rather simple - change the electoral system to get access to political offices. Instead of fighting shadows on the wall of a Platonic cave (which includes anything from global fight against abstractions such as "neo-liberalism" to freedom for Tibet) - the left should focus on a single goal - implement proportional representation.

CB: Yes, but since majority rules in vulgar democracy, how does a minority win a change of the whole system like this ? The answer is simple , but implementing the answer is very, very difficult, no ?
