Volt doesn’t attack the system in their political goals. That would also shift the attention away from change and it would become a total different discussion and makes it harder to attract masses.
The above goals certainly make it possible to outgrow our current system.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

DiEM25 has a big title with:
Europe will be democratised, once the oligarchy is overthrown!
You can bet that this will create noise and the real talking points are then not getting the attention. It’s an “us against them” strategy, which may get some traction, but the focus might get lost due to that slogan. But if they are able to attract the masses and apply true change, then of course that would be great! A quick skim through their website seems indicate they are pretty much in line with Volt. It will be a nice addition to the European Parlement.
Please take that into account when you write certain comments. If you know that certain conclusions are based on a personal hunch, then maybe phrase those comments as questions, rather than as facts. Because you then use that “fact” to advocate for your personal flavor of socialism.
