Voting

Out of sheer curiousity I'll ask, what does Holla Forums vote for?

Like on a philosophical level? Or just in general like candidate wise?

I vote bc I'm given the opportunity, so might as well fucking do that very small bit.

In terms of party, always third party my friend

Am mostly curious because most of leftypol seems quite revolutionary and stuff, so I assumed they'd do the 'we vote to fight' thing and just do posturing and stuff

I've been divided on it for years.
Usually vote for the Socialist Party.
If not them, then the (new) Pirate Party or 'Libertine Party'. The latter is a socialist party looking to reform economics by changing the organization of the state in favor of the working class (the name is less confusing in my native language). They never got a single seat.

Trump.

I mean, I do it with the hopes of seeing change (horrific, but revisionism is best we have in the US as of right now). And the hope of a more organized left being built up with each election

What's there to revise? You've got a welfare state, affirmative action, hate speech is banned.

Till January 2015 I was always voting Syriza (except for 2009, cause I never realy like Tsipras as a leader).
Then I went back to voting small and voted Popular Unity.

Mostly Anarkids don't vote.
It doesn't matter if you don't vote. Even if 20% votes, there will still be a government. There is no point in limiting your ways to resist.

Socialist party.

We are still far from being anywhere near eradicating poverty, racism, or hatred, friend.

Don't reply. This is a poster very willfully disrupting threads for their own amusement.
Don't be the dupe of someone else's desire for attention.

Even if it's not the case in this specific instance, considering other threads it seems wise to be cautious for now.

Fair enough, and figured it was baiting, but some people still actually believe that nonsense.

While I respect many anarchists' conviction to not participate in the electoral system as to not legitimize an only nominally democratic apparatus, I personally do vote when the opportunity arises. Obviously revolution is the main goal, but the best way of creating the conditions for revolution is to push reform to the furthest-most limit; a point at which the only reform left to make would be the proper transition to socialism, which the bourgeoisie will never allow to happen through democratic means. That's not to say that revolution can't occur before that point or that one shouldn't support it purely because there is still progress on the reform path to be made mind you, and more effort should still be made to agitate, educate, and organize at the local level rather than obsessing over electoral politics.

In terms of parties, I don't have that many options while living in the US. Usually I'll vote Green or Socialist when the option is available, Democrats only on a candidate-by-candidate basis. The former two have never won anything beyond super-local bureaucratic positions (and then only rarely) where I'm at, but its still better than nothing I suppose.

Why would I vote for a Mafia consisted of brown people that claim to be "Greeks"?

I vote by smashing windows

So, you support capitalism by destroying part of the production?

I vote for whatever neoliberal party promises to cut taxes. Seriously, fuck the welfare state. Bureaucrats and politicians stealing worker's money is just as bad as capitalists doing it.

Because they're anti-immigration, therefore they're against browner people coming in. Unless you're in favor oh shariah law or something.

Poverty will never not exist, someone will always have more than someone else, there's nothing wrong with that. Racism isn't bad, it's perfectly healthy and should be encouraged.

lol, that's just fucking stupid, don't you hate the bourgeois?

AfD

I vote class war.

I vote Nazi masturbation fantasy, and guess what? The plebs are on my side, they're more racist than any of you middle-class self-hating whites.

Easy guys, this isn't about bashing on each other's opinions, just about expressing them

I mostly wanted leftypol to express its views in regards of voting, not to make this a battlefield

Would've made a poll, but, its a bit too early for that

OP is a whiny faggot.

How come am a proletarian and don't know what white is, in order to hate myself?

must be cause am not 'Murican.

reddit pls, this isn't your safe space

Try reformulating that question so it makes sense. I sincerely hope English isn't your first language.

If you are from Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Luxembourg, Portugal or Spain then pic related

back to mexico shitskins

This meme again. Hey, Holla Forums.

Define white race.
it' ideology barier. not language.

I vote for reformist parties becuase historically, revolution has came after failed reform.
There isnt really any harm in voting pragmatically if you understand it's importance to be a spook.
We should simultaneously vote for reform and organise with clear demands of the system as out platform.

But isn't that revisionism?
