  • In a nutshell, ContraPoints tweeted some stuff saying that anti-electoralism is mostly pointless posturing and shitposting. Anark responds reasonably without shitting or dunking on ContraPoints that supporting the electoral system is a huge time/energy/resource sink that just upholds the establishment.

    All real change takes time and comes from bottom up. The worker movement of the early 1900s is his main and best example. All of that change came from revolutionary organizing and activity and it was slow and bottom up. His main point is instead of spending all that time/energy/resources on an establishment, spend it on organizing and building for the new world/system. Force that change from the bottom up from outside the system, since the system just wants to perpetuate itself anyway.
