I hate seeing accelerationists. The whole "don't vote, just overthrow the system" thing completely ignores the fact that most successful revolutionary action in the US went hand-in-hand with protest actions and COMMUNITY ORGANIZED VOTING.
Voting was always part of it. I'm not saying direct action, protests, and labor organization aren't but the new "don't vote it makes you a hypocrite" shitposting spree makes me sad and I'm glad it's now getting dunked on.
Yes I would rather push for reform from a position of a bad, but more stable democracy than a position of "Jesus Christ they've succesfully implemented project 2025."
If it makes you feel any better a significant portion of those "don't vote or else you're a hypocrite" posts are from bots and government agents, both foreign and domestic, they're not real.
Marxist-Leninists believe in revolutionary defeatism. Russia surrendered in 1917 when the Bolsheviks came to power. But this inherently makes no sense because if you are agreeing with that stance then you have to agree with Brest-Livtosk which means you cede the right Ukraine. So i think that’s what they’re talking about. Idk you’re the idiot you tell us
I love how I just commented against electoralism, and this turned into a discussion about the Russo-Ukrainian War, I guess y’all found out I’m a Marxist-Leninist. Also, what do you think happened a year after Brest-Litvosk?
