Socialist democracy. The political structure is a way to reinforce the economic base, so by moving onto socialism, the working class is in control of the state. The issue isn't with voting, period, but the idea that we can escape capitalism just by doing so.

That is more clear. I think I should have better defined "electoralism". Social democracy sounds much better than raw unfettered capitalism.

Social democracy is capitalism with safety nets, I mean socialism. Rather than private ownership being principle, ie covering the large firms and key industries with the state dominated by capitalists, public ownership should be principle and the working class should dominate the state.
