I'm sorry but discouraging electoral participation is extremely dumb. Until the revolution comes, that's how change happens.

Gatekeeping and purity tests are super productive.
Get lost with your purity test nonsense. It’s always libs trying to shit on actual leftists for not tolerating their crap. You are not leftists, there is no purity test when you’re not on our side.
Hey Deceptichum, what do you eat? Because if purity tests for "actual leftism" are on the menu, boy do I have a fuck of an unnecessary hierarchical power structure perpetuated for profit and justified by "the natural order" which results in the exploitation, torture, and murder of billions of an oppressed underclass that you just have to give your opinion about.
... Or is "actual leftism" just "give or take whatever my views are"?
I eat a plant based diet.
You don't know what those words mean.
You just imagined they would be useful for you to validate your antagonism.
How about we just stand with whoever opposes our current authoritarian government and try to get them out of power instead of pulling this "holier than thou" crap.
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS): SDS was one of the most influential student organizations of the anti-war era, mobilizing large-scale protests and advocating for democratic socialism and direct action against the Vietnam War. Through Operation CHAOS, the CIA infiltrated SDS chapters, gathering intelligence on its membership and strategies. The agency’s informants sometimes instigated aggressive actions or created tensions between factions within the group, contributing to its eventual dissolution. By sowing division and encouraging splintering, the CIA effectively weakened SDS as a unified force, reducing its influence over the national anti-war movement.
Liberals never act meaningfully to threaten authoritarianism.
Liberals protect the state. The state protects authoritarianism. When leftists undertake direct action to protect the population against such oppressive systems, liberals pretend that leftists are the greater enemy.
