    Anti-electoralism gets boiled down to in-group aesthetics just like everything else on social media, but the genuine article is a historically based argument about the ability to do revolution at the ballot box. It’s about not repeating the mistakes of the past and accidentally directing energy where it’s going to burn you out. And it’s difficult to even make this argument in the imperial core in a way that lands because the base for revolutionary community and activity has been so thoroughly purged from here.
