You did not mention that the senate, designed to protect the slavocracy, was never abolished after the Civil War as it should have been, but was instead retooled to serve an even more ubiquitous form of wage slavery. The Robber Barons of the late 1800's had great representation, while the majority of Americans remained clueless about the mission statement of this highly undemocratic institution, "to protect the minority of the opulent from the majority." Minority rule always ends badly, it is now dangerous. Lets just say it. 

I continue to believe the most effective strategy for revolutionary reform is via a popular convention, perhaps limited to proposals which make the current insufficient political system fully democratic, and more effective. If we had a political system that faithfully represented the majority, I have no doubt things would change quickly.

As for Avakian, I have reached out again and have not head from him. I would very much like to talk with him on the podcast.
