Sure, and I hope a thing like that will happen. I guess every communist party at one point has to ask themselves these questions when they have a chance of getting in power. But at the same time being pragmatic should only go to a certain length before you start dropping your ideals and I hope we can prevent that.

There's a book I just learned of from the Rev Left podcast called: "Lenin's Electoral Strategy from Marx and Engels through the Revolution of 1905: The Ballot, the Streets - or Both" by August Nimtz, that you might be interested in. It discusses Lenin's feelings on parlimentarianism, I haven't got a chance to read through it yet, but it sounds like it addresses the same concerns you're stating.

Here's the preface: http://www2.hhh.umn.edu/uthinkcache/gpa/globalnotes/Nimtz%20-%20Lenin-Preface%20Vol.%201.pdf

And here's a link to the book itself:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1385-the-ballot-the-streets-or-both

I don't know the policy here on 'high seas' material, but I can PM you a link to a digital copy if you want ;)
