How many elections will it take for social democrats/progressives to realize that capitalists won’t give up their power willingly?

Seriously. Bolivian coup, Labor lost in Britain, Sanders loss in last two democrat primaries, impeachment of Dilma and imprisonment of Lula in Brazil, Venezuela coup attempt and assassination attempt.This is just in the last few years. There are many more examples in the past 100 years. There has to be a point where liberals have to see that media bias, election rigging, interference with nations sovereignty is not corruption of the system. It is how the system is supposed to function. How many losses for the working class around the world are they willing to stomach?I think that many progressives/social democrats genuinely want to help and improve the quality of life of their people but are very misguided with their faith that the system is fair and reform is possible. But they are objectively wrong and the last 100 years are proof. Even if they succeeded, the small crumbs capitalists conceded long ago are being cut and taken away anyways and the same would happen in the next 100 years.What do you comrades think? How do we or should we even bother to reach out to these people? To what extent should we participate in elections? via /r/communism https://ift.tt/2W0HJHp
