Hi all, I haven't posted here before but I had a question about two things that seem somewhat conflicting to me? I'm a fledgling Marxist and I remember reading that Lenin had said something about how we should only participate in bourgeoisie elections in our own revolutionary party, but I think he maybe also said something about helping the material conditions of others (instead of being a accelerationist) . How does one do both of these things or is there a balance? I haven't yet read "What is to be done?" but I imagine maybe reading that would help me get a better understanding of these things? Please let me know if i'm misremembering this, thank you :)

Wish I could say. Haven't read it in a year or two
