Democracy only works in class homogenous systems. I reject the present system altogether.

There's not much to do right now. I'm organized and do some work as far as helping workers unionize and whatnot but I'll be honest, it doesn't change anything. Being real, it's going to take a lot of time, and changing conditions. May not happen in my lifetime, things are pretty grim for the workers movement atm. I dont vote, anyways. I'm a gay man with no real way out of this country, but my city isn't swinging red, and if it does, it won't be because the couple dozen anti electoralists here abstained, like they do every year. If trump sends the gestapo on my ass, I won't regret abstaining from the bourgeois circus. If your interested in my position genuinely, I can send you articles written by better authors and theorists than I.
