   Hey now, don't be silly. I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, not only do I love democracy but I'm prepared to fight and even die to give you and yours an opportunity to actually TRY it.

   Because you haven't; this is not a democracy. Nothing capitalist, is a democracy. No country that restricts the vote so rich guys always win, is a democracy. Like I tell you all the time; you're living a fantasy. EVERY election is rigged; for rich fucking nazis and their ballwashers in the petty boug.

     If everyone got to vote, if everyone's vote counted, if everyone weren't propagandized to believe there is NO OTHER WAY to run a society than that which produced the fuck barrel hellworld you see around you, if people got to vote on POLICIES not reps - we would not be here; the fascists would not be winning, capitalists would not be boiling the planet your children live on, and so on.

     Again, you're living a fantasy. You're welcome to pretend, but I don't have any more energy to pretend with you

     PS: this isn't an argument about electoralism or an attack on folks urging you to vote against the nazi. I've told you a great number of times that I see value in voting AGAINST the nazi, in even a rigged fuckbarrel system like this one.

     It's just not a solution to shit like "rising fascism" and "boiling planet" and "fuckbarrel killed my family" and I can prove it because once in a while the nazis lose and yet all that shit still happens

     It's why I never argue with you about voting; off topic

     @AnarchoNinaWrites in high school, i read In Defense of Anarchism which opened my eyes to stuff like this.

     i've been itching to read some more similar such things, if i can muster the attention span...

     People don't see the point in voting and nothing changes, perhaps we need to find ways to better engage with those we vote for or they engage with us
