I am explicitly arguing against reformism, and for revolution, which requires that people actually organize. If people assume that they just need to vote every once in a while and that that’s all that’s necessary, then revolution becomes much more difficult.
That’s not an argument for not voting, though. It’s an argument for voting not being the be all end all. That’s where you’re losing me.
Probably most of the liberals you’re talking about struggle to engage with much else because they have work in the morning or they’ve entirely lost faith that the rocket is even coming… and it may well not be.
Like I say, the US system has been “beyond reform” for a good few decades now but the revolution is no closer than it was 30 years ago. If anything, it only seems even further off…
