Yes, but for harm reduction only
If you want to have actual progress you gotta work outside of the system
Correct. But harm reduction is still valuable. You still need to vote, you just shouldn't pretend that voting alone is sufficient.
Elaborate on working outside of the system.
Don't beg. Do.
Like what?
What do you want from your government?
Your government won't do it.
Do it your fucking self. I dunno. You want better schools? Start one, improve the ones that exist, whatever. You want safer streets? Start pouring concrete and slashing tires. You want asafe injection site?

Like the other said. Meet up with your neighbors and address those issues together as a community
You can draw inspiration from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosfygika_of_Alexandras_avenue#Self-organised_structures
cool can my neighbors make 3M two states over stop polluting my drinking water?
Find a local food bank, see if they need help.
Find a local homeless shelter, see if they need help.
Find a local park, see if they need help.
Start a community kitchen.
Start a community trans center.
Start a clothing collection.
etc.
Its truly amazing to me the extent to which most people are enfeebled by their learned helplessness.
You can in fact, just do stuff.
Now, its probably a good idea to think that particular stuff or thing through a bit, before hand...
But everybody is seemingly just waiting for permission. You're the one that gives you permission, nobody else.
We don't have an individualistic culture, we have a cowardly culture that pantomimes socially accepted forms of uniqueness.

Good places to get started
~~organize.crd.co/~~
https://www.radical-guide.com/ (seems to be down at the time of writing) https://radar.squat.net/en
Apologies, but it's never been a good place to start for me, unfortunately, sorry.
There's literally a single country I own an apartment at, as a paying taxes resident, is only listed there.
Yet, two other countries I am an official resident at, too, are not even listed, with no door at all.
And not to mention the whole dear Baltics, nor some crucial countries of Africa nor East...
It's relatively sorrowful the place is locked down for just these "established" miraculously magnificent countries and no other people may even participate. This doesn't look welcoming nor anarchy-like bust just, sorry, nazi... and just inappropriate.
Here's a question raises whether what you stand against or for in the first place.
Do you have a better list?
I do: Here's two that have more info and aren't managed by someone with a gmail account.
Thanks, I edited my original comment.

Neat, the countries I want to emigrate to aint listed.
contact us at "anarchosocialancom@ gmail.com "
🤣
If your comment is for my comments here about missing countries, then I am not sure why:
- 1. You believe no one here reads footers;
- 2. How contacting and adding a single or more magnificent countries will make it better;
Since, again someone's country won't be listed nor they may have any knowledge or possibiltyto add one.
You haven't read anything written. There should be no countries at all, but a single door for everyone. This is not a club but a movement, an idea, or... am I mistaken?
nonono, I am emigrating with my polycule to an European country not in anarchosocialancom’s list.
Good luck to your polycule!
Always😊🥰
Roger that. I do wish you success, stability, and peace...
