Rebel Energy is the latest of 32 energy retailers to go bust since 2020. But if it wasn't so committed to its "mission" of battling injustices and saving the planet maybe it would still be a going concern, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1"Finally the same question again: Could a revolutionary situation be developed if the left forces got over their sectarianism, came together and sought to win the most combative and thinking workers and youth and oriented these to the mass of the workers and to the middle layers around a democratic anti capitalist socialist program and internationalism."
Based on what we've seen for over more than just my lifetime, little prospect of that. The myriad left factions all seem more interested in fighting each other for recruits to their individual vision of the best approach. Close to zero willingness to ignore (what should be considered minor) differences in the cause of unity. After all, if you win, little reason to bicker that another approach would have been even better.
But please note something very important. Saying that you can get masses united together (recognizing that this is a prerequisite) puts a different approach on the usefulness of parliamentary means. IF you have the vast majority behind you (in a society where voting is possible) then it's up to the other side to try force to disrupt you taking over by parliamentary means. It's the side that DOESN'T have enough ballots that has to try bullets.
Also recognize that it requires MUCH more means to take over a society (replace the ruling order with your own) than it does to disrupt the ruling order. So just looking to accumulate enough to bring down the current version of the capitalist order may not be enough UNLESS you have REASON to believe that it will be your vision that becomes the replacement. Please take careful note of my use of REASON as opposed to quasi-religious faith. A quasi religious ideology that presumes there is only one possible path for history isn't reason no matter how many sacred texts declare it. If the history of the 20th Century (and earliest 21st) teaches us anything it should be that fascism and/or religious fundamentalism can turn out to be the winners when societies collapse in conflict.
