I disagree. Our collective vision (if that even exists) is always shot down by the electable. We need to get elected before we can wield good positive change. Go NDP!

That's because there is no collective vision right now. This stuff doesn't happen overnight. There needs to be an actual education process to explain to people what socialism is, how our capitalist system actually works, and how that impacts people in their daily lives. Vast majority of Canadians have no idea how any of this stuff works in practice or why they should care. Without that base understanding, there's no way to build a movement that can endure. Elections are completely meaningless when people are voting on singular issues which are mere symptoms. The focus has to be on root problems that we have to address as a society.
