This comment is the perfect example of why fascism has a habit of winning. Laziness from the populace. One election in one office is all you’re willing to commit.
I didn’t say anything about laziness or not opposing facsism in multiple ways. Voting once every 4 years is the laziest way of “opposing facsism” of thus the least effective, especially when the party you are voting for pushes fascistic policy (like aiding genocide and anti-immigrant narratives…).
People who don’t understand fight against fascism is a lifetime of work are the people who deserve fascism.
NOBODY deserves facsism. Comments like this show how unseriously you take facsism, that’s probably why you think you can just vote it away. I take it serious and recognize that the fight against it requires real ground work and more than having people vote for fascist light every so often.
I didn’t say you said it I said you were an example of it. Hell you just did it again, every 4 years you say. Exactly the issue. You people think it’s a one-time game. It’s not , it’s constant. It’s every Congressional race it’s every senate race it’s every state race it’s every School Board Race. The fight is unending. Also yeah some people deserve fascism, they’re called the people that sit on their ass and let it overwhelm them. People that aren’t willing to fight it are the ones who deserve it. Cuz they’re the ones that enable it more than anyone else.
I agree it takes groundwork, what kind of ground work is my question though. Real groundwork? The kind of groundwork that endorses democracy and respect for democracy? The kind of ground work that keeps progressively moving us away from fascism step by step? Yeah that’s the kind of ground work we need. That’s the kind of ground work you’re sitting here arguing against. Your groundwork is vote one time in one election and then turn your nose up at the entire process and sabotage anyone who wants to keep fighting. You all or nothing people are the problem. When you’re steering a nation it takes a long time for the rudder to move. It takes constant pressure to change course. That course change is going to take years and maybe even decades but you have to keep pushing on the rudder. If you never try you go where you were headed in the first place. That’s what your endorsing here. One brief nudge and then sitting on your ass. Doesn’t move anything.
How do you define Direct? I’m open to a very wide range of it whether it’s from going door to door all the way through throwing bombs into the carriage of a tsar. Action’s fantastic particularly at local level, in fact primarily at the local level. Up to and including Carriage routes.
If you’re capable of implementing a structure that can actually stand, direct action may be warranted. If not, then not, unless violent anarchy is better.
Start small. Build your structure and run some group that way. …and expand.
The kind of groundwork that lets people know that their interests lies in the people and community and not in sacrificing those things to vote for a saviour.
Example: do you know how hard it is to get people to care about undocumented immigrants? Specifically how much harder it is now then pre-2020? Do you know why?
Because those saviours you convinced them of have turned and told them that Republicans were actually right about immigration all along and it is a national security issue rather than a human rights issue.
Yep, encouraging people to care for one another rather than playing team sports between 2 parties, neither of which care for people, is totally the path to fascism. /s
No. Voting for the normalization of fascist policy is what leads to fascism. Look at Britain. Labour compromised on immigration during the election and now they have anti-immigrant riots and pogroms.
That’s what you are advocating for. That’s what electoralism gets you.
you work with what you’ve got until you have something better… right now, you have a vote between 2 teams… get the fuck over it and vote, and in between work for something better
but right now, in this moment, in november
YOU FUCKING VOTE AGAINST THE MOST FASCIST

What do you think about direct action?
Show us how, genius

Yup. There it is. The path of fascism victory. Exactly what I’ve been saying. Thank you.
