Perhaps it's true that only through agreeing to play by the rules and not offend the delicate sensibilities of the middle-class will the Bernie movement become a true political majority. But it's not clear what's to be gained from such growth, if in exchange we make sure to refrain from doing anything that disrupts the smooth reproduction of the status quo. The filling of U.S. voting booths and streets with millions of people doing little but complying is unlikely to bring even mild reform. No, to do that we'll have to resort to the old strategies of the strike, the blockade, sabotage and — one hopes — the occupation and expropriation of private property.
