   What "win" are you looking for? 

   The gains to be won in bourgeois elections is to advance towards the 
organisation of the working class as a political party by and for 
itself, separated from and opposed to the bourgeoisie. 

   And to advance the idea, that it will not be elected representatives 
in bourgois institutions which solve the problems of working people, but 
only our own mass action, in great numbers, in the workplaces, schools 
and in the street. 

   Well, this is valid for proletarian revolutionists. Other people may 
think otherwise.
