No, the message should be to build a vanguard party that can channel violent sentiment in the direction of class struggle rather than voting liberal under the pretense of antifascism and damage control.

voting is pointless and promoting the idea it does anything causes people to do less.

Capitalists must be so relieved that socialist and communist enclaves advocate disengaging from the electoral process, as if an afternoon or less spent voting, two if you vote in a primary, precludes one from otherwise protesting, organizing, or lifting a finger to resist.

If you actually thought this the only time you would give this response is when voting was actually occurring.

Ah yes, more “don’t bother voting” propaganda. the heart of the issue seems to be the legitimacy that voting gives to a system – participate if you chose do, just do so w the awareness of the fact your participation was more beneficial to the status quo than it was to you. and, yes, you do need to do more than just vote; but if you lack an understanding of why your increased participate is now necessary you’ll be treading water at best – like the democrats. there have been people who’ve been in this situation before and wrote down what they did with the benefit hindsight included – if you look at their stuff you’ll find out what you need to do beyond voting.

Personally I’m not against voting (although I’m against the “support the lesser evil” rhetoric). I just hate that libs constantly downplay political violence (whether it be direct violence against politicians or their supporters or destruction of property) as an available tool that must never be used unless absolutely necessary. That if you do use it, you must distance yourself from leftists, anti-capitalists, Democrats, and basically make it seem like you only did it cause you were bored. Not doing so would hurt us too much.

Do radlibs have a MLM scheme where they get commission for getting people to vote for their cult leaders? (I mean that would explain why they’re so desparate that they even try to shill voting to their worst enemies, the anti-imperialists)

Not voting for genocide does more good than any amount of volunteer work within the democratic party could ever do.

…We just have to vote… The title of the post says voting isn’t enough.
