    We’ve had this argument before and you haven’t convinced me this is true, especially with more immediate political concerns.

    I’ve also talked with people who literally are against voting so your statement does not speak for everyone.

        Why only fight on one front when you could fight on all fronts? You can vote and do other things, you know.

          I have never said that you aren’t allowed to vote, more that voting is far less important than organizing. You are disparaging organizing in favor of voting on the grounds of voting being better, my question is which issue is voting better for?

            I have never, once, at all, ever held that position, nor have I said such a thing. I have always been a proponent of organizing and voting.

            Don’t you dare put those words in my mouth.

              Can you please explain what these “more immediate political concerns” are that voting is more important for than organizing?

                I think I’d rather have an apology first if I’m going to do you any favors. You just spat out a lie about me and you’re going to brush it off?

                  I think it was a fairly reasonable conclusion from your response to this comment:

                  That isn’t really what people are saying. It’s more that voting cannot bring about socialism, while revolution can, and that therefore treating voting as the primary political outlet for people hampers the organizing efforts needed for revolution.

                  If you can explain your views better, and what you believe socialists believe, then it would be easier for me to know. I’m sorry if I misrepresented your views, but you aren’t doing your views any favors with the endless strawmen.
