the worst dudes online are the guys who are like “the time for electoral politics is over, it’s time for guillotines.” yeah bud i’m sure you’ll stop posting and get the ball rolling on the guillotines any minute now.
They’re all like “voting is useless! You have to organize and revolt!” If you won’t even get off your ass for 30 seconds to tick a box for harm reduction, I have no faith you’re ever gonna start a real revolution. It takes a lot more work than voting does & sensible folks know you can do both.
right. like if you can’t see the strategic value in a dem in the executive for your revolutionary project i don’t trust your strategy to wage a revolution yet alone win one
Right. One must think about things like “minimizing casualties” if one wants any kind of moral high ground, or broad public support. No one backs a revolution that’s killing their children with famine, drug shortages, etc by breaking existing supply chains and offering no replacement options.
