Voting is The Failure of Democracy
A good friend recently asked me why more Democratic politicians don’t stand up to fascist fucks that run our country.
First of all, they’re part of the problem. They support the same system. Just call ‘em Republican Light. They’re all about spreading the wealth around and keeping the military industrial complex rollin’ along. Just like the GOP. Got to keep those durable goods rolling off the assembly line. Keep those new houses being built. Manufacturing.
Keep all the key economic indicators indicating growth and advancing metastasis.
Better on the environment? Maybe so, but that’s just a ruse to make people think they have a choice. There’s no choice! Are you nuts? Look around you.
Industrial capitalism and war are the raison d’être for all these assholes and nearly all of their contituents. Just look at the “voting” record.
The reason more people don’t stand up to fascist assholes is they are cowards.If I thought a Che like revolution would work in this country, I’d gladly lead it. Trouble is the egalitarian revolver is of no use against the authoritarian weaponry of the ruling class.
So, you just make sure you have good smokes, vino, books, a place to escape and good, trusted friends to confide in. Take care of those close to you and stick your middle finger in the face of all the rest of ‘em. And all the rest of ‘em means 90% of Americans. 90% of Americans are stupid, fucking louts, clueless about what’s really going on in this country and in the world.
That, and do things that make a difference in your community. TAKE DIRECT ACTION.
Voting is a failure of democracy. Want democracy? Get your ass in gear and take direct action.
