Voting

[Gust]

How should Communists/Socialists/Anarchists vote?

The lesser of the evils?

Not vote at all (Anti-Capitalist)?

Wich one makes more sense?

[comradesteele]

i think we should vote for one of the minor socialist partys. (i'm reffering to the britsh style election that i'm use too)

[More Fire for the People]

Vote for whoever because your vote doesn't count.

How should Communists/Socialists/Anarchists vote?
Why would anarchists want to vote?

If voting changed anything they would make it illegal. At the end of the day the government gets in. <_<

Don&#39;t vote for a capitolist. In other words if you live in Amerika don&#39;t elect either of the major parties. Vote for either some socialist who doesn&#39;t have a chance or don&#39;t vote at all. (if your an anarchist don&#39;t vote)

[Pawn Power]

Voting will NOT change the system, no matter who you vote for. We are trying to do away with the current system, this cannot be done through elections, of any kind. Why would you participate in a system that fucks you over? The only solution is REVOLUTION.

[Organic Revolution]

i think he is talking about voting in a communist society... but, voting doesnt change shit.

[Paradox]

1. Voting doesn&#39;t do anything.

2. Even if you voted for a Socialist/Communist party, what could they do in a capitalist society? They&#39;re reformists, all they can do is minor reforms.

3. Change must come from the abolishment of the system, which is not going to come about from within the system. Therefore, we organize against it.

Last time I voted (this year, March), I voted against our ruling Communist Party.

But it didn&#39;t help, surprisingly :lol:
We&#39;re still the only European country led by "communists". <_<

[Clarksist]

Yeah in the next US election I&#39;ll be able to vote.

Everyone says, "You can only complain if you vote&#33;"

To that I say "If you vote, you support the system which got the dick elected. so shut the fuck up."

[Roses in the Hospital]

My logic when voting in the last UK parliamentary elections was &#39;vote for whoever means the Tories don&#39;t get back in,&#39; which in this case meant voting for Labour...

Do you really think the gover ment would turn into a dictator ship?? if it did and they suddenly made voting illeagle do you think there wouldnt be a revolutin? It makes no sense for the current goverment to stop people voting.

I&#39;ll take it that you&#39;re from Moldova then.
Does the Party of Communists continue to praise Deng Xiapong?

The government in my eyes is a police state.

What other systems do I propose? Consensus.

Thank you for your thoughts, I also think the whole voting proccess is just worthless, and not somthing to take part in. And the question was refering to the &#39;ole U.S. of hate.

[black magick hustla]

Even if I hate the state, I rather vote for the lesser evil.

Sure, I am an anarchist, but not voting is much worse than voting. While a revolution is very unlikely to happen in a near future, sometimes, participating in elections can make some small reforms to make capitalism less harsh. I would rather vote for a democratic socialist party than the catholic right wing party in here.

[codyvo]

In 2008, I will vote for either the socialist or communist party, I know it won&#39;t make a differance, but it can&#39;t hurt, I won&#39;t have anything better to do, why not vote for a party whose principals I agree with.
