The main point that the other makes is this:
The recall campaign itself, however, is a deliberate political diversion, engineered by the unions, to shut down the protest campaign and block any independent action by the working class, including a general strike.And, I think it is perfectly valid. The legal-governmental machinery of the capitalist state is designed to serve the interests of the One Percent. One of their fundamental interests is to contain dissent. If activist movements pursue actions within their legal frameworks, they can only expect frustration. I'm not saying that they should never pursue such strategies. However, they should never be a primary strategy--which should always be organizing alternative institutions and undermining the capitalist regime.
