How do they know no one is nobinary? Did they ask everyone for their gender? 💀

thank you for sharing :3
i watched the video and i found it very interesting and agreed with it a lot.

the videos does specifically argue against electoralism tho, and not against the act of voting in itself.

but i do see how the critique of electoralism applies to my understanding of a reformist arm of a liberatory movement. it makes me reconsider some things. even so, i do disagree with parts of that critique.

i wonder if the absence of any nominally liberatory parties leads more people to be radicalise and self organize, or if it just shifts the overton window to the right. i understand and agree that the electoral system needs to be deligitimized and people need to be discouraged from putting their trust into it, but does this mean, it should not be used at all?

i dont think direct action and self organizing should be a reaction to people voted into power acting against the interests of the people. i see then as the goals in themselves.

we should not be ruled by anyone, not even people we voted for. the power needs to be with us, the people. representative democracy is taking that power away.

so i would say, even when politions in power do what the people who elected them want them to do, we should still self organize, to regain our own power and not be relient on the mercy of politions

hi, pls dont take my comment as an attack, i just wish to share my opinion with you :3

i dont think that electoralism has to be seen as valid, to see voting in an electoralist system and pushing for reforms as valid tactics.

ofc i do not think that reforms and elections will liberate us. i think it is foolish to use voting as our only or even primary tactic. but i think it can improve things or at least slow down our opressors. it can give us more breathing room to do the things that will actually lead to liberation.

i know that it feels bad to participate in a process and a system that you despice and consider illegitimate, but i dont think there are actual downsides to doing it other than that bad feeling.

i dont say this to demonize non-voting. i just want to explain why i see voting as a valid tactic and make people reconsider their views or maybe make me reconsider my own view :3

so mean! let them have their little sticker :<

this series of video essays ("the state is counter revolutionary") makes a lot of good arguments against authoritarian leftism and states, towards why they are not a path to communism but a hurdle. i doubt someone who has already fallen into the trap of authoritarianism will watch these videos with an open mind but maybe you could watch them urself and integrate some of the arguments into your intervention.

tankies think that whatever states they simp for are better than the US, because they wont admit any of the flaws of these states in the first place. their entire narrative is that the flaws of these states are made up as anti-communist red scare propaganda. so they are very good at rationalising any arguments against them.

i do not know how to convince tankies, but its great that you are trying :)

i assumed it was people indicating that they are posting due to the one rule (post before you leave)

i'd aregue the larger part is the system that alienates people from nature, society and the production of goods.
