What will you do the third time someone tells you MZT is not Maoism?
post static gif
Literally retards.
I’m loving this conversation tbh
noooooo don't vote it won't bring about my fantasy scenario!!!!
There's a lot of reasons I tell other black people not to vote
believe me bro I don't like this shit either
But mostly it's just a waste of time.
I won't get my trad american reich either believe me
"hmm which neoliberal will I pick today"
yep
problem?
If you have the time to vote and you want to, it doesn't matter, but people shouldn't go out of their way to vote or think it will manifest as meaningful political change.
depends on what you mean by meaningful
It's which color team in the fake culture war you want to be WINNING for the next year and a half.
your meaningful means fantasy world
my meaningful means whether my gas prices skyrocket
different worlds bro
I mean yeah
That's about as good a reason to vote as you can get
and that's good in my book 😄
I don't see it pushing the overton Window to the left
Ever.
Maybe it matters more when you're a reactionary
it can if you get smart people in
But it's very inconsequential to my politics and organizing
Literally what are they going to do?
look at south america and you can see how electoral politics pushed a whole continent light red
This isn't South America
Voting’s important even in a rigged system.
It’s a way to send a message.
so electoralism can work but not in America because.......?
It's a better use of time outside of America
why
It also gives us important information about political identification across different parts of the country.
Theyre not the seat of empire, they're one of our imperial satellites and more political diversity electorally is tolerated
But if you start to push back against neoliberalism in a meaningful way they get rid of you
Like Idi Amin
Or Thomas Sankara
