I like to think that I'm a very knowledgeable organizer, so if folks want some advice ask me in the comments!
You're viewing part of a thread.
You disagree?
Of course I disagree that deposing the oligarchs is impossible.
At any rate, everything ends eventually.
deposing the oligarchs is impossible
That's not what I said.
It's how your original comment and the clarification both read for me. Advancing past the status quo of oligarchs exploiting workers is what you have seemed to me as rejecting as impossible.

I didn't mention oligarchs. This is what I said:
"Some things can't be advance beyond the status quo, for example the existence of exploitation."
It may be possible to advance past oligarchs but it is not possible to advance past exploitation.
Oligarchs are the exploiters. Exploitation is the theft by oligarchs.
Oligarchs are the exploiters.
Oligarchs are not the only exploiters.
Exploitation is the theft by oligarchs.
Exploitation isn't limited to oligarchs.
It seems like you're trying to redefine the term "exploitation".
The oligarchs is a common name for the exploiter class.
Exploitation is universal amongst humans. There are no divisions, such as class, that distinguish between humans who exploit others and humans who don't exploit others. There are no groups of humans without exploitation. There are no humans who don't exploit others.
Socialists understand exploitation as the relationship by which one societal class, called owners, claims as profit value generated by the labor provided by another class, called workers.
Such kind of relationship is particular to historical periods, and is not universal or inevitable within any human society generally.
Socialists have found class analysis to be the most broadly useful framework to understand social systems.
