    Revolutionary democracy is more than just fucking ballots and voting

    But that means you are threatening my comfort and privileges!!! Emancipation is only worth it if it benefits me personally without having to do any effort.

    On a more serious note, elections are all good and well but will not bring the possibilty of completely changing course, just look how any bourgeois democracy reacts the moment a candidate goes too far in “socialist” rhetoric, instantly the whole private and public sector will cooperate to stop this person, and we’re not even talking about full-blown communists, look at Corbyn, Melenchon,… becoming a full fascist state through the process of bourgeois elections is deemed acceptable and even necessary, anything else has to face the consequences, and they use violence as well, elections are fair and free until they become a menace to the ruling class.
