Bakunin? Kropotkin? Never heard of them...

I don't understand anarchism at least in the context of reading about half of this web page, which basically just repeats the notion that a true radical can not vote because that reinforces capitalism, "well both sides are bad" and the individual can not rule over the many. Truly, in principal I agree with what this is saying. But to spark a revolution, the government needs to become so much worse than it currently is. I don't think anarchism has actually happened and been sustained, tell me if I'm wrong. If Anarchism was on the cusp of succeeding and it was all those democrat voters which caused it to fail I would completely understand not voting.

Rather Anarchism gives permission to the right to continue there slaughter. While in the same way voting in an election gives the magical president that capitalism works, (But still holding a net vote towards a better outcome) not voting in an election has the same president that capitalism doesn't work.

Because a non voter is the same as a centrist when the choice to vote or not to vote is actually the "vote" someone should make. Nobody hears you.

Truly, as an anarchist are you homeschooling your children? Would you go to a public hospital? Sorry to do the "Communism =/ Iphone" but the government has good things, and increasing those good things are, good. Is this kind of Anarchism a kind of Accelerationism where you let the state continue to make living conditions worse on principal that this is the system capitalism created?

I believe in using every resource available to make everything better, and I won't hold those further left than me from succeeding because the enemy is the right, but I also want leftists to come together and agree.

I think voting is useful tho

If there are decent options, votes can show support for it, regardless of a win or loss. The results would signal that there is decent support on it or became a part of awareness on issues or points.

Not dismissing other parts on direct action and the fact that there is no right to recall in elections(Not USAmerican or EU-ian. Do you have right to recall?)

Nowhere in that does it really explain why voting is counter productive. Voting is a tool, and a very cheap one. It only costs at most an hour once every 3 years and requiring knowledge of current events and politics, which is stuff you will know about anyway if you're involved in any kind of direct action.

The only potential argument there is the psychological one, where people are lead to think voting is enough to do their part, but I don't think that's a strong enough argument to pass up choosing your opposition. As shit as Labour is, National and Act are worse, and by any logic other than accellerationism (which is a terrible idea of you care about the human cost), Labour will make fighting capitalism that little bit easier.

I understand not running for office. That article gives good reasons that actually joining politics is a wasted effort. It takes a lot of time and money, and almost always ends up making people slide towards the "reasonable politician", not the radical that they promised to be.

uh, does the original "meme" provide that context? 😅 the point is to point out the diviseness - not to prove that communists are just as bad

tldr. leftist infighting bad.
