![[META: serious and constructive discussion thread (radlibs will be yeeted tho)] You can both criticize the lackeys of capital AND vote for the ones slowing down the degeneration into fascism a bit](https://files.catbox.moe/zea2ii.jpg){kind=link}
(img translation: “Wind-up toys with a common key”)
However, expending all your energy and agitprop potential on getting ppl to vote for the good cop instead of the bad cop, still legitimizes the dictatorship of capital (as well as it’s sham democracies). It makes it seem like voting could solve systemic problems, instead of it just playing the game of late-stage capitalism. Anywayy… that’s my take (so probably incorrect)
This thing is a one-time thing tho, there is actually a sibling community for this kind of stuff: !actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
One of the keys to strategic success is picking your battles. When you have the chance to choose the enemy you’ll face, don’t let fate decide for you. At the end of the day, you are going to fight, so pick the fight with the enemy you think you have a better chance of defeating. Take this whichever way you want.
