Would be curious to know if he meant elections as radicals using something like the Democratic Party or a separate party? Also don't know what level of elections he means, there are really "low" offices that could be disrupted more if the election was won.

Anyway, I'm generally skeptical of running without the intention of winning. I know, bourgeois system, so on and so forth. But isn't the idea in Lenin to gain some positions of power in bourgeois systems via Communist party in order to agitate further support and have revolution? I don't see how always running without any intention to win can be ultimately helpful beyond just promotion that could be done at any time, realistically. We should win as many elections as possible in order to have revolution, not just run hopeless candidates in order to disrupt.
