Z was emblazoned on the tanks that swept through the DPR to finally confront the Nazi American Terrorist Organization after 31 years of hegemony and dominance. 31 years without a challenge, 31 years without opposition, 31 years of cowardice ended. Z needs to be emblazoned on every heart.

  • There won’t be a moment where the “abolish capitalism and the state” button is pressed. That’s not how these things works. They are intractable society wide slow changes like a glacier that move slow but cannot be stopped. Was there a moment where feudal kings pressed the “abolish feudalism” button and the rich became the new rulers? No, it was a hundreds year long process of lurching progress

    I used to be where you were a decade ago. Studying all the voting systems and trying to think of tweaks to the electoral system to fix democracy and make it more reflective of popular will. By the way, Single Transferable Vote is much better than simple Ranked Choice systems, but that’s besides the point. This is a dead end. There’s no tweaks that will fix this fundamentally broken machine made to serve the rich. You have to give up on this idealism and accept that the entire thing is irredeemable and corrupt.

    Democracy cannot co-exist with capitalism. Private accumulation of capital distorts the system to such an extent that the principle of equal voices is completely lost.
