Well, once again it’s voting day in Burgerland.

Once again the electoralists are crying and urging us to dutifully head to the polls and throw in our lots.

One again certain leftist orgs are selling out their “revolutionary” values and pandering to reformism.

Here we are.

According to a UN report released 2 months ago, 2022 has been a year of unprecedented regression of LGBT rights in the United States. The blue party holds the presidency, as well as both houses of congress, and across the nation, reactionaries have never before gained more ground in their bloody war on the LGBT, women, and all other minorities. Yet the “harm reduction” advocates are still barking at us.

Make no mistake, if voting costs little effort for you personally, and you can materially improve the conditions in your local area, you should be all means. That being said, the leaders of certain “leftist” orgs in the US have been pushing a hard “vote blue” campaign on a national level and when they do this, they directly undermine our struggle.

While it’s fine and good for you and I to go to the polls and try to keep murderous anti-trans people off the school board, when a national organisation with supposedly “Marxist-Leninist” intentions expends its energy urging the masses toward electoral solutions, they are directly undermining the process of left wing radicalisation.

Comrades, it’s easy for the, mostly cis-het white men, who run some of these orgs to do this. They aren’t dying. Their material interests are better served by preserving respectability and stability in society than they would be by agitating for revolution. Every time they use their platforms to urge voting, they are demonstrating to the not-yet-radicalised that electoralism may still be the solution. Their “harm reduction” strategy doesn’t even bear fruits anymore, meanwhile our fellow LGBT and other minority comrades are dying.

I strongly urge you to join whatever organisations you can and struggle against these electoralist currents. One of the hardest struggles we face is getting people to look beyond the ballot box for solutions to the threats they face, and without us advocating militant, principled, and revolutionary action, we’re just running out the clock at the cost of our comrades lives.

Stay safe. uwu
