Emma Goldman was an anticommunist

so what?

dgirl.bsky.social•125 days ago

The anticommunist left serves as little more than a backstop against revolutionary leftism. She's basically an op.

quaestor.bsky.social•124 days ago

ah. sure. yes. * walking slowly backwards *

Why are you mad?

Yeah right. To be honest, democracy and voting is the currently only somewhat working way to keep at least some level of equality in the world. The system is far from perfect but still a way better than the dumbfuck alternatives. Given you do not live in Russia, China or North Korea.

And one of the parties IS trying to make it illegal to vote, so...

Well, on that she was wrong, or maybe it was a hyperbole and what she meant was that voting wont abolish capitalism or state

Actually republicans *are* trying to purge voter rolls, eliminate drop boxes, shorten the window for early voting, and the list goes on and on.

This quote is catchy but extremely reductive. It is very much trying to be subverted all the time? The fact that they can't fully get rid of voting completely makes sense given that obviously it would receive pushback from pretty much everyone in the country, not just lefties and progressives.

I mean they try very hard to stop people from voting, that’s a whole thing.
