I think people forget that you can’t vote your way to freedom in a system wherein half the people voting are communists, that half will cheat in elections to win, the other half will allow cheating to protect the mystique of democracy and political correctness and that some people want to vote even if they know there is utterly no point in voting. The best we can do is wake them from the dream of voting and democracy and hope they lose tolerance for bullshit.
Here is another, overarching point: even if it were theoretically possible to vote our way out of the current situation, in a de facto 2-party system, it is impossible in practice.
People want the state. They don’t even want liberty inside the framework of constitutional republican law, let alone anarchy. That will never change. Not voting because muh state is purist edgelord shit is akin to what you’re accusing others of. The more a person of your intellect projects as any form of “anarchist”, the less power and influence you have over your own situation. Leftist freaks will never leave you alone, and they’ll never allow your ideological society to exist.
My point in promoting anarchy isn’t to get to 100% anarchists. It’s just to get enough people to distrust the state not to do what it says anymore and perhaps to change their neighborhoods.
I don’t have an ideological society that contains people of differing viewpoints. Anyone who reads my writing knows that. Voting is no more the solution in that case than not voting. Revolution doesn’t require voting.
Could have said “Nice job, narcissist.”
