I agree, but political power to what end? People usually use political power to get people elected. What’s the alternate use for political power? Lobbying is just buying off already elected people, and even a violent coup is using political power to install a different political system, so what’s the point of political power if you don’t use it for politics?
But different politics and a different political system doesn’t mean that in the end there’s still gonna be some representative in some parliament or mayor’s office. Popular movements can shape the political landscape without ever relying on getting "the right people"into elected positions.
The pointeis actual political power for the people.
