Re: Organise! The Alternative To Voting!

Certainly not in those countries! You talk of political change and reform as revolution — but anarchists realise its more than purely political: its social and economic also. So to realise true rrevolutionary change is to actively create it, by workers and communities themselves. Those so called vague revolutions you refer to — while they may have brought degrees of economic relief for some workers — have merely 'filed down the rough edges of their chains'.

I could go on — about the fact that you dismiss the workers ability to themselves bring about social change, or how you also ignore that fact that the prerequisite to freedom is freedom itself, not blind following of those promising 'freedom' —but I really can't be bothered.

You can lobby for your votes, and we will continue to work with, and encourage, workers to direct emancipate themselves, not to vote in new bosses.
