So is it telling people to vote Nader?

[Junius]

Well the individual begins by arguing that present society is analogous to being raped. Okay, replace rape with exploitation and I agree. He then states that there are two ways people respond to being raped: passively accept it, or fight back. His definition of 'fighting back' is voting for another rapist who apparently rapes nicer. Anarchism is about 'direct action' and a vote for Nader is a 'statement to the government' of 'fuck you' 'we don't agree with your horse shit' a vote gives us a 'little bit of opium' if the working class didn't engage in voting then we would be 'complete wage slaves.'

1. Rapists don't care about your opinion. Otherwise they wouldn't be raping you.

2. Rapists like you to think that you aren't being raped.

3. Hence, if you choose one rapist over another, you forget you're being raped, 'cos its all consensual. Right?

4. Being raped by a nice guy doesn't make it any nicer...for you.

5. The point is to get rid of rapists, not to submit to them. Rapists are concerned about raping. Attack the conditions which allow them to rape, and don't appeal to their sentimentality.

BS, you do know that one video made my one person doesn't show anything other than that individuals personal ideas and doesn't necessarily highlight the general perception of anarchists, right? Espcially this one, as he is coming from a position widely rejected by anarchists, atleast from my interaction.

He was.

And I am sure the Democrats got the message loud and clear.

Positively shaking in their boots over the Naderites.

Sigh.

Oh! That whas so incoherent and contradictory. Arg! *cringe*

Clothing electoral politics with revolutionary rhetoric is what he is doing.
