Political Memes

Nah we definitely can vote our way out of it. It's just going to take way longer and we'd need to convince people who the real enemy is. But we'd need to do that with a violent revolution too. When a lot of people, who own a lot of guns are drinking the capitalist Kool aid, a revolution just ends up being poor people fighting other poor people. Then the elites win in the end anyways.

Don't get me wrong. I'm on board with the need to drastically change and if the guillotine is the way then cool but it's just not at the moment. Voting is the least effective form of civic engagement so it would take the longest and we're running out of time. If we can get leftists to run and win in lots of local government races then there is absolutely a path to change things from the ground up. Politicians, wealthy elite and corporations really really want you to think that you have no options. The options just involve hard work so a lot of people think that murdering the wealthy is the easy way out. I agree that it's a way but I'm skeptical that it's as easy or cut and dry as many leftists want us to think it is.
