What praxis do you do outside of electoralism?
Ive attended multi protests/marches and have made a plethora of memes that spread class conciousness. However the onus isn't on me to give my praxis bonafides when I'm not the one encouraging civicdisengagement. What praxis havd you practiced?
I'm literally advocating more political engagement, "you've got to vote to prevent fascism" is a lie, you've got to do a hell of a lot more than protesting and voting and making memes.
How are you building power?
Underneath a meme I made while shitting, youre welcome. If you dont understand how building class conciousness isn't synonymous with building power, all i can tell you is that you need to read more theory.
This meme doesn't build class consciousness though
Never said it did, its encouraging political engagement, which you are actively discouraging by disparaging the Electoral system, which is a tool to stave off fascism long enough for class conciousness to build.
Electoral system, which is a tool to stave off fascism long enough for class conciousness to build.
It literally isn't, and it has never worked as one. What historical examples are you basing this on? How many books have you actually read on the subject?
What books would you recommend?
I would start with the "economy and class structure of german fascism", "The capital order" goes into how neoliberalism is connected to fascisms modern resurgence.
I'll see if my library has em, but i am very well aware of how Neoliberalism is connected to fascism from what I have read on marxists.org I just dont agree with abstaining/denegrating the electoral process to remain ideologically pure. Criticism is great, but discouraging voter turn out in leftist spaces does nothing but accelerate mask off fascism from returning to power ie. The 2016 election.
