    I think historically we made things better by revolting, not by democracy and I don’t think this time will be different.

    I hope you’re right though, I’m still voting in my country but I don’t think I believe in good will of any of the sides. If lesser evil is our only option we’ll still eventually end up in hell.

    In order to make this society better we’d need to change so many things it would basically be a whole 180. For one we’d need to fix public education, but in every country I know of it has been only eroding over the decades. Instead all the money goes to the elites and the proletariat gets dumber and dumber, to the point of electing fascists. What’s the point of voting „left” if the „left” still takes a piss on public schools and teachers? If not this election or the next, the nutters are gonna (democratically) win eventually.

      In the US, we are going to be one election away from a fascist takeover for a while. We are circling the fascist drain. The point is we can have a better future, but only if we fight for it with the tools at our disposal. With voting, protesting, and spreading good information. Our only chance is to vote in Democrats and independents on the left like Bernie.

      If the fascists takeover there are no guarantees. Even if a revolution succeeded there is no guarantee what we would get. Revolutions can just as easily cause a country to go from dictatorship to democracy as they can cause a country to go from dictatorship to dictatorship.
