Join a communist party? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [+] daggermoon@piefed.world -9 points 1 day ago (6 children) What's the point of joining a communist party that will recieve less than 1% of 1% of the vote? It makes more sense to turn the Democratic party communist. Unless we have ranked choice voting, third parties aren't viable. It sucks but that's the situation we're in. If you're running for office and have great ideas than it's wasted unless you run under one of the two major parties. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] EmmiLime@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago* (3 children) It makes more sense to turn the Democratic party communist. oh dear you are being incredibly naive.

Really? It has never happened, it can't happen. The democrats are there only to serve capital, same with the republicans. What is it I should be focusing on then? I told you, join a communist party and organize. Read theory. Voting in a bourgeois democracy does nothing for the proletariat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] krolden@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 child) This guy just convinced me not to vote permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] daggermoon@piefed.world -4 points 19 hours ago In your case, probably for the best. permalink fedilink source parent
