It’s just too bad that people are only capable of one form of political engagement at a time. There’s no way that someone could try to organize in their community and fill out a ballot a few times a year.
And really, why would you? Things will be exactly the same no matter who is in power as long as they aren’t 100% aligned with your views.
Nah, best to mock anyone who chooses coalition building over ideological purity and stick to the plan of having a tiny fraction of the population lead a revolution… eventually.
Nice straw man, nowhere did I say anything about doing only one form of political engagement at a time. In fact, that’s precisely what I was deriding in my comment.
And I had said nothing about voting at all, let alone suggesting that people should vote and do nothing else. Maybe I confused you for the straw man because you were still covered in the stuff from fighting a straw man of your own.
Engaging in politics? Pointless.
Obviously the solution is to constantly talk about the necessity of violent action while never actually committing any acts of violence.
The prerequisite to successful revolution is building up a revolutionary party. Doing violence with no aim is just adventurism and helps nothing.
no electorlism is never the answer
Where did I mention electoralism being viable?
imagine being so intellectually impoverished to think that voting is the sole means of political engagement

My mistake for assuming you’d actually be making your comment within the context of the discussion.
Why does it feel like people like you are a product of a propaganda mill than anyone with any original thoughts.
Same talking points over and over and over for decades that lead to Trump getting elected, but nothing changed.
Voting in US elections is engaging in politics in the same way that playing with the big steering wheel at the playground is driving
or maybe look into the history of the failure of electorlism to change society or no we could do nothing like you suggest.
