It’s like saying “Sure my husband’s a serial killer, but he’s great with the kids.” If someone said that to you, the only conclusion you could possibly come to is that…
No one’s telling you to vote for one of the parties of Capital, neither the one currently committing a genocide in practice, nor the one that would commit one hypothetically.
Rather than defending Hitler because Himmler might be worse, spend that effort joining an org and doing praxis.
I appreciate the idea of organizing, but you have such an infantile take on this.
Not voting means i have given up my ability to choose and i will instead end up with whomever those that did use their ability chose. I know that one of these choices will be holistically better, therefore i will vote for them.
Very naive take. Vocal participation in a genocidal system is endorsement of it. You can’t tell people to vote for one of the parties of Capital and then tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that’s going to happen 5 years later.
At some point or another you just have to commit to it being “broken” (actually working as intended of course) and build your movement based entirely on the fact that it is broken and can not be supported in any way whatsoever. We’re long past that point with the “lesser evil” party currently committing genocide.
Successful revolutions in the past like the October revolution have used elections primarily as a way to show the size of the movement, never by endorsing a party of Capital, and have built said movements by organizing. Endorsing a genocidal party won’t stop them from committing genocide.
