When is defeat a victory?
When you have won the
future.
One of the biggest
strengths of socialist organizing is its focusing on mass movements and the
future. The power of mass movements is that short term loses do not actually
stop the movement.
There is no bill to be
defeated.
No candidate to lose.
No date that marks the end
of the struggle.
84%
Bernie Sanders won 84% of
caucus goers under 29 and 58% of caucus goers under 44.
This is winning the future.
In a decade people who voted for an avowed socialist for president will dominate
the Democratic Party. There will be defeats and retreats in the meantime, but
this is the future. Socialism is on the march and will not be destroyed.
