  • The most obvious is that it uses resources that could be used elsewhere. The amount of resources spent in every election is massive. Groups / orgs that do electoralism often spend most of there resources this way, because they have to compete with way bigger and better founded parties.

    Also doing electoralism often is something of an image and credibility thing. To have chances there groups / orgs often try to have a civil / good / appealing image and they often care about that image enough to not do radical / bad optics actions.

    Also when you do electoralism you agree to certain conditions of the state to participate. In most states you have to have certain legal structures and processes in place which usually are pretty hierarchical and are really hard / impossible to work around in horizontal and antiauthoritarian ways. This way it makes it (nearly) impossible to implement anarchist concepts such as “unity of goal and practice” (sorry I dont know a better translation, maybe prefiguration fits). Agreeing to be a legal entity that the state recognizes and allows to participate in elections also reduces the field of activities you can do without impacting your ability to do electoralism.









  • First I would lile to thank you and others for feedback regarding this. I hope anyone who does so reads the original post, the sidebar of the community and tries to understand the general spirit of that community before they comment tho.


    A direct answer from myself, as I am not speaking for the other moderator of !antiwork@slrpnk.net:

    Can you actually tell us what your post had to do with the abolition of work? Because thats what is outlined in the sidebar and the expectation of content there. I feel like your post really failed to connect to topic that and the votes and report(s) it received also showed this. I think another antiwork / work reform community on Lemmy would have been actual places your topic would have fit.

    I stand by the decision to remove the post and I think its kinda ridiculous how out of proportion you are blowing this instance of mod action. From my perspective you are still welcome to contribute to !antiwork!antiwork@slrpnk.net as long as it is actually on topic.


  • stärkste Gegenargument.

    Gegenargument wogegen jetzt?

    “The Sun” und […] ihren Schund

    Stimme ich dir ja prinzipiell zu, Mir fällt aber auch in deinem Kommentar auf wie du gezielt versuchst das Gerichtsurteil zu entwerten indem du ganz bestimmte Dinge hervorstellst und dabei diesen in keinster Weise auf diesen Absatz im verlinkten Wikipedia-Artikel eingehst:

    The article stated, “Overwhelming evidence was filed to show Johnny Depp engaged in domestic violence against his wife Amber Heard,” who “recounted a detailed history of domestic abuse incidents, some of which had led to her fearing for her life.” After a three-week trial in London in July 2020, Andrew Nicol, a High Court judge sitting without a jury, rejected Depp’s claim in a verdict announced later that year, ruling that the published material was “substantially true”.

    Also auch wieder nur eine Abwandlung von dem, was ich in meinem vorhergehenden Kommentar angesprochen habe. Der Unterschied zwischen komplett ignorieren/verschweigen oder den Inhalt des Urteils falsch darstellen ist jetzt auch nicht so groß:

    Konstant wurde beispielsweise das Gerichtsurteil aus den UK komplett ignoriert
