    Meanwhile, the actual results of ceding the government to fascists is… increasingly right-wing leanings in the general population

    Waoh but no, if we can just SHOW those damn SHITLIBS that they’ll never win, the inner socialist heart of The People will perk up and we’ll lead the masses singing the Internationale straight to DC. That’s how Popular Support works!

    Fuck all that loser groundwork shit, that’s boring and doesn’t make us feel very revolutionary, while STICKING IT to THE MAN makes us feel fantastic as millions of disadvantaged folk are marked for death.

    Voting may not fix the country, but not voting can sure as fuck make it worse.

      Democracy only works in combination with education. We are currently missing the latter so the best things you can do in the long run is educate everything else will only change things temporarily but makes them worse over time.

      What is groundwork? I haven’t heard this term before. Is it things like protesting and voting? Propagnda? Having conversations with everyday people? Or are those something else?
