(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

    That kind of accelerationism is a gamble. Maybe it’ll inspire a critical mass to socialize, or maybe they’ll just get crushed under the boot. Uprising against the greater evil is a romantic idea, but it’s by no means certain. If the evil is great enough, it could just crush the uprising. If you’re going to promote that gamble, you have to acknowledge that it is a gamble, and everyone could wind up profoundly worse off of it doesn’t work.
