How embarrassing it must be to lose to this guy. Democracy is dead not because Trump policy but because we dont have any functional parties. - eviltoast

    I get it. Complacency allows the top to slowly chip away from the bottom. Im not saying to stand and take it. Make your voice heard.

    But what im saying you cant expect not participating to improve your situation. You have to make small wins where you can. Without the support of large social movements, change will be slow and tedious and it may seem nothing changes for the better your entire life. But if you give up and stop putting up any resistance, you can be sure the top will topple the tower and you will have nothing left and will have to rebuild. And the chances of rebuilding to something grander is much more unlikely because you already surrender your only advantage.

      its not even complacency, its a system built into to capitalist and class based politics, this is why i will take the revolutionary approach and seek to dismantle the state. France had an anarchist revolution where the anarchist completed they’re task and put down the weapons and tools and left a power vacuum, Marx supported the revolution but while witnessing the aftermath that erupted afterwards Marx seeked solutions, this is why revolutionary socialists seek the complete removal of the old state.

      Marx himself did say the working class should vote in they’re interest, and i support this notion. now if the working class feel voting goes against they’re interest who am i to say they are wrong, i wont be getting libbed up over it. instead i use these opportunities to point people towards Marxism.
