The Deathly Wasteland of the Bourgeois Ballot Box
You’re always alone in a bourgeois ballot box. There can be no better symbol for Capitalist alienation of workers than cramming them in featureless white boxes to exercise their powerlessness anonymously.
We have infinitely more power than we think we do, and yet every electron of it lies outside the bourgeois mind prison of fake democracy. When even a significant percentage of workers collectivize militantly and begin mutual political development and praxis, Revolution dawns on the horizon. You’re never lonely in a worker’s collective. Paraphrasing a comrade, the Democratic Party’s mission is to ensure you never realize and experience actual collective power, just their cheap simulacrum of it, so you stay powerless and hopeless.
