This is protest as a policy-winning tactic though, right, not as a tool in an organizing strategy to get to a mass revolution. Like I don't think the Bolsheviks were engaged in staged concessions to electoralism b/ Feb and Oct 1917!

Like at some point everyone has to decide of they're trying to build towards better policy outcomes in the current order or something more and shape their one, two, five year strategy plan accordingly, right?

And then the form and function and all other facets of planning protests along the way will be shaped by that trajectory.
