    This is an anti-democracy argument, not an anti-voting argument. This is a “we have to abolish democracy” thing. I don’t see how this negates voting to perhaps prevent the worst fascists from taking over? Given that your only response to fascists getting voted in is, let them be voted in by not offering a counterweight?

      Then rephrase your first statement, since it reads as electoral apologia. Voting as collective decision organizing makes sense from a “we run out of options directly acting on this thing.” And not the brainwashed electoralists still demanding representative politics. The latter is precisely why there is still populist propaganda, and why they still vote the brownshirts in.
