As someone who used to vaguely believe in electoralism, it’s insidious how the bourgeois class pretend it’s all fair voting, until it goes the way they don’t want. Then the rules change and you’re voting wrong and the imperfections of the ‘imperfect system’ get used 100% in favour of bullshit.
I’m not that old, and in my adult lifetime I’ve seen it happen in at least a few western countries (eg Recent France, state mandated fraud in the US, or the UK’s internal disinformation campaigns (including cooperation by state media) - The people vote for the “let’s minorly improve things” candidate, then bourgeois class solidarity causes shit to come out of every aspect of the woodwork to make sure that candidate cannot win. Even if everyone votes for the best candidate every time ever, there’s a 99% chance it’ll never matter (so long as the working class are doing nothing else to ensure it does).
I don’t know what kind of spells these would be but I fear the wizard who knows them.
