oh no I was looking at the up down and east west axis

Well you're certainly using one of those terms wrong.

Color me surprised - a liberal who doesn't know what authority is

Pretty sure the implication is that you'll be dead at the end of the fall

If the house of government was ever truly the people's, it was stolen from us the moment it was done being built.

Democracy is only a small measure of power, and in a liberal democracy, most of that power is ceded to capital.

That's dandy, but that's not an anarchist perspective. Fascism arises from capitalism under threat - if you're not ready to defend yourself against the state abusing it's monopoly on violence, then you're not an anarchist.

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.

Anarchism is about power to the people and power to communities, you vote for the best thing for your community regardless of your personal feelings

Yes, we anarchists famously believe that liberation from repressive structures can be achieved first-and-foremost through voting.

I get that this is your perspective, but I think you've missed the point of anarchism if this is what you think it entails.

But have you considered that a system that leads to fascism is still better than actually manifested fascism?? And yea, maybe we should fix it before it gets there, but if it can't be fixed with voting now then we should have voted harder before, and vote harder next time

Idk man. If, just as an example, Biden "shot someone in the middle of 5th avenue", i think it would be hubris to expect him not to lose any voters

You can call that 'purity testing' if you want, but I'd say that the expectation for it to have no effect is just wishful thinking.

Does it matter how morally bankrupt the 20% is?

Asking before I pose any analogies you might think is unfair

Unless there was a different incident, i'm pretty sure the one you're talking about was a molotov cocktail, not a flamethrower.
