[pp.int.general] Why Activism Isn't Enough | TorrentFreak

I thought about this. I saw it as a reply to this:
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-05/26/pirate-party

I ended up with two points.

1. The one and only reason for pirate party's existence in life is to
get that disintermediated representation; and as such, there is not
and should not be ethics involved, in the electoral phase, at all. The
platform becomes "everything that gets us elected."

2. Are (were?) we a single issue movement? What happens to single
issue movements is that others take their issues and fuel them,
killing the movement; and that is the single-issue-movement definition
of success.

What happened? What are we?
