Brown v Board, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, it all only happened because people were in the streets and the country was becoming ungovernable. Again, all elections are for is deciding who we have to struggle against. We win by forcing them to capitulate to our demands, and we do that through mass struggle.
They killed MLK and Malcom X for it, of course, and put people like Angela Davis in jail and forced Assata Shakur to flee the country, but you can hardly say they died without changing anything.
