Some anarchists have advocated for participation in electoralism. So even though we’ve rarely if ever seen this, I’m not sure I agree it would be totally oxymoronic. Praxis requires reckoning with the existing conditions. And existing conditions are that most changes in society are executed by politicians.
Now I’m kinda wondering what an anarchist politician would look like.
Apples to apples would be comparing elected liberal politicians to elected anarchist politicians, in which case Tiger would be standing there alone.
That’s because anarchist politician is an oxymoron.
