Parties are a necessary tool for connecting individuals and transforming shared interests into collective power. The left will not win by simply electing better politicians, but by forging a political instrument capable of confronting entrenched elites. This is the promise of a party—not just a ballot line, but the means by which the many can overcome the few.

    Excellent plan. I think it’s more essential than ever for people to leverage every organizing tool in the toolbox. We absolutely need to have a coordinating system for focusing the power of the various organizations working to strengthen and protect the people. I can see arguments both ways in terms of whether The Party should be the main coordinating vehicle or whether there needs to be a separate arm for internal coordination, but at this point, any ambition regarding expanding the scope of the movement is welcome.
