Yeah I cited Venezuela and Bolivia in a different thread and I'm seeing other people citing them as well. Its good to see comrades looking to LatAm for examples. Its definitely not the same as the US but far more similar than Asia or Africa and in some ways Europe too.
Regarding electoralism, the catch is you actually must earnestly try to pass the reforms if you want any traction with the masses. They have no patience for ideological obstinance, that doesn't pay their bills. That puts the party on knife's edge of liberal cooption or political irrelevance. The good news is the libs have been making this pretty easy for us by being even more obstinate while loosing on their own terms.
To a certain extent, I think revolution is only possible when the state keeps making the same mistakes.
