    Begging you motherfuckers to read Lenin and Rosa Luxembourg if you’re going to try to speak on the critiques of bourgeois dictatorship.

    Voting in and of itself is completely pointless. What happened in Serbia happened because of a principled political movement, pursuing the betterment of conditions under a wellorganised structure capable of agitating for clear goals. Under such circumstances voting is a useful tool to build upon momentum and further approach wielding state power.

    Saying “voting ended the regime” is like saying “voting killed the Tzar” or “voting instituted the civil Rights Act” or “voting decapitated Louis XVI” or “voting enacted womens suffrage”.
    To make it more absurd it is like looking at a holiday feast and then declaring it is there because you put a nice tablecloth on the table.

      Well said. Now instead of authoritarian neoliberalism they may get progressive neoliberalism for example. Just a different form of suffering. It solved a little.

        Authoritarian is a nothing word describing every state and almost every organisation.

        Neoliberalism is impossible without the enforcement of the state, thus there is no variant of neoliberalism that is not authoritarian.
