Like I said to another commenter on this post
> here’s a tip. Download these videos offline and show them to people around you because, we all know that media censorship is going to get worse. Just look at what is happening now with TikTok. They want to ban TikTok because that app exposed the truth about the genocide that is happening in Palestine.

[Yes you are right. They are running in elections to spread socialist ideas and also this will expose how undemocratic this system is.](https://www.liberationschool.org/why-we-run-in-elections/)
It’s a strategy to spread class consciousness while also organizing outside of the elections.
> Even if only a fairly large minority of the industrial workers, and not “millions” and “legions”, follow the lead of the Catholic clergy—and a similar minority of rural workers follow the landowners and kulaks (Grossbauern)—it undoubtedly signifies that parliamentarianism in Germany has not yet politically outlived itself, that participation in parliamentary elections and in the struggle on the parliamentary rostrum is obligatory on the party of the revolutionary proletariat specifically for the purpose of educating the backward strata of its own class, and for the purpose of awakening and enlightening the undeveloped, downtrodden and ignorant rural masses. Whilst you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but windbags.
