I don't know what to tell you there. You're saying that people who think we should change the system from within get mad when you try to change the system from outside of it?
It feels like you're just describing being a leftist in a world of neo-fascists and neo-liberals.
I didn't say voting wins the libs over.... I said being a revolutionary leftist doesn't free you from voting. If you want to improve material conditions you have to fight with every tool you have. Voting is quick and easy and improves material conditions for minorities Neo-fascists want to oppress.
Libs are not going to be on our side in this. They're part of the oppressive system we want to dismantle. A part that's just as hard to overcome as the fascists.
Besides, making progress on a revolutionary front also forces libs to make concessions which only improve the outcomes of voting.
Fuck fascists and fuck the libs. We don't vote lib because they're good, we do it because it's an easy way to limit oppression against marginalised communities while we work on anticapitalist pursuits like community building, mutual aid, and other more assertive strategies as the opportunity arises.
