However, I do think I have shown that such a position is consistent with the revolutionary socialist/Marxist tradition and that the idea that this is a break from "socialist electoral thinking at least until the rise of the Popular Front" is false.
That's because of your sleight of hand equation between the Democratic Party and the British Labour Party. That is not consistent with Marxism but the political acrobatics of Gus Hall, Carl Davidson, et al. It always ends up with the same tired references to the 1912 stuff about Cadets and electors, Lenin's article on ultraleftism, Marx's support for Lincoln, etc. I've heard it 10,000 times.
