FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

i highly recommend doing both, organize and vote

I say organize, vote uncommitted in the primary if you can, and do what you have to in November. But yes, agreed.

We didn’t have that option in the Ohio primary so I just left that space blank and voted down-ticket.

Spoken like a proper leftist. Its funny how the lemmy trolls pretend ither countries dont gave anarchist or communist parties trying to participate in the neoliberal politics as is. Bc its beneficial to leftist causes if the people youre trying to sway, cooperate with, create a new way with, you know, actually can afford to do all those things.

Does anyone here realize how we're arguing whether the easiest action u can take is praxis? No one says dont do the other stuff.
