he isn't though
you've got an initial proposition: "Start doing revolutionary work"
you then have a subordinate clause, clearly denoted by commas: "clearly separate from all electoral efforts and directly improving the lives of the workers"
the lack of a comma between 'electoral efforts' and 'and' indicates that all of this is subject to the 'clearly separate from'
and then you have a return to the main proposition: "and recruit and grow membership from the people that are excited by that work."
to read it your way you definitely need a comma in front of the 'and', or just a less fragmented sentence structure in general
but whatever, this is tangential
