Progressive Politics

The thing is that types like @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml would rather keep their self perviced purity clean. It is easy to wait for perfection when they are not being rounded up by ice, nor being starved in a siege. They might say things like "all war is class war" but not seem to realize that all war is dirty. Its hard to imagine that they have serious ideas and movements if they don't even want to participate in local elections and minimize harm. If they put the amount of effort they do in discouraging voting into forming a third party they might have some electoral sway. Which would lend credibility to them being serious about building a parallel economy where people could escape capitalism, or that they would even show up to fight in some trenches (lord knows its hard to keep your shirt clean in those).
