These parties necessarily had to function underground in repressive states in pre-revolutionary or revolutionary conditions but I don't think their isolation is solely or even mainly attributable to their freedom to function openly in more modern capitalist democracies. What is to prevent a party which very selectively recruits the most politically conscious members of society and is internally democratic from making political inroads in modern society? It doesn't have to emblazon its banner and publications with the hammer-and-sickle and emulate Bolshevik rhetoric nor attack the parties to which most workers remain loyal, which I think better explains their isolation. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
