Anarchists do not believe in the electoral system. For a successful
revolution, you don't need 51% of the population as in an election, but
a general agreement among the people to end the miserable living and
working conditions under capitalism. "Representative" democracy is a
sham. Democracy must be direct or there is none, although they try to
force the illusion of it upon us. ---- Yes, vote if you believe in it -
but don't stop there. Don't let them convince you that this ritual is
the pinnacle of your/our influence. It's time for you to recognize that
real power lies not in just casting your vote, but in challenging the
system that limits your influence to that single act.
Don't let them keep you in a cage of limited options. At the very least,
the real fight involves challenging the system itself, not just choosing
an elected official to sit on the "throne" for the next few years. Let's
demand more, question everything and never allow our voice to be reduced
to a simple checkbox.
Real resistance, real change, has always come from direct action, civil
disobedience, and challenging the system outside of its approved
methods. Who decided that a select few politicians, corporate
executives, secret service agents, oligarchs and bankers can make major
societal decisions for all of us? If you really sit down and think about
it for a moment, it makes less and less sense.
We need such a massive revolutionary overhaul of our society that most
people understandably have trouble imagining it. But the box we think in
needs to be broken. The problem with capitalism is that it doesn't solve
the problems of people and climate collapse, it profits from them.
Profits are made by creating poverty and pollution, not eliminating
them. It is capitalism, it is the perverted criminal exploitation of man
by man. The sustainability of life on Earth is secondary to the profits
of billionaires who don't pay taxes... All of this is used to manipulate
people into thinking that inhumanity is natural and inevitable. As Kwame
Ture said, capitalism lies constantly and replaces justice with
injustice. The morality of immorality.
When WE workers are desperate, it is easier to exploit US. When people
are busy with work and too distracted by propaganda and tabloid gossip,
they are unlikely to be able to organize a revolution. Change it, get
involved and organize!
