Unfortunately, I have not read much communist literature ever since a long time ago, so I am not sure what the correct strategy is for communists regarding elections in America.
I ask because midterms are coming up and I am not sure if I should register as independent or not. Could anyone give advice and answers?
there are few to no material gains to be made as a lone wolf, so as always, the first step is to get organized. others have brought up lenin in this thread. when he writes of actions to be taken, he means actions to be taken by the vanguard party. he never said whether you personally should vote or register.
that said, check out the referenda on your ballot, if any. those are the most important bubbles to fill in imo. there are a couple on there that make my blood boil. the candidates are kind of whatever in my mind. sometimes i vote first-party if i feel like i can stomach the candidate. sometimes i vote third party to maybe push them over the 5% mark but realistically, it would probably have a negligible impact on the next election even if they got there. either way, the ballot measures are way more important than all that.
