Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

    Better than voting would be to join a communist party and work towards dual power, especially in your workplaces/unions

      I don’t see how that’s “better than voting.” Why are the two things worth comparing? Why can’t I do both? What makes voting inherently bad?

        It is better than voting because you will help create the world in which we no longer have to choose between red or blue genocide, and more importantly no longer need to hash these dumb online arguments every 2 years

        Voting for a genocide means that you are perfectly fine with getting your turn in the ovens later on.

          I can see you’re very capable of complex and nuanced thought -_-

            Stupid people like to look at simple issues and pretend they’re more complex than they are, so that they can feel smart.

            Not supporting genocide isn’t complex, you’re just an idiot

            You believe in nothing and will get the reward a traitor deserves: a mouthful of ashes in your time of greatest need.

              Just gonna say it’s really hard not to draw comparisons between the rhetoric I see across Hexbear and the rhetoric I saw on r/the_donald back in 2016. I’m not saying that as a judgment on the quality of ideas because there’s definitely a lot more communal-focused thought on Hexbear, but fucking hell for being a community that’s notably communist you all give zero shits about being a community that’s inviting to other people

        You could do both. The thing to recognize is that voting is nothing. Nothing is accomplished by voting.
