    Local politics don’t allow for our parties, even at that level. Electoralism is a crock. Power does not grow from a ballot box; and trying to tell me it does only makes me want your shit to collapse faster.

      It does though. The democracies are functional, people vote, and the most votes choose the government. You obviously wouldn’t want to run as the stateless global communism party, because you would get zero votes, because no one wants that system. And my shit is your shit. Unless you’re prepared for societal collapse, you will want to work in the system. And frankly, the power vacuum arriving from this revolution will be filled by the right wing. They are armed, trained and ready to go.

        With all possible emphasis and sincerity, fuck your system. It is fundamentally corrupt, systemically white supremacist in nature, and tailor-made to enrich the few at the absolute expense of the many. I’d rather live through our collapse than wash my hands in the same trough of everyone else’s blood you’re willing to. Maybe a few decades of actual hardline struggle will do you some good.
