How about a third party? Most people wouldn’t vote for one in the US because they’re worried about wasting their vote, but that doesn’t seem to be a concern for you and you can freely vote for one.
What third party? The abusers at PSL? The hypercapitalists at the Libertarian Party? The sixty-nine bajillion centrist vanity parties started by failed politicians who are such vapid losers that they couldn’t even hack it in the centrist caucuses of the big tent parties?
Again, even if there was a third party nominally worth voting for, voting is a small waste of time, and electoralism is a tremendous waste of time, for the simple reason that States, in particular liberal democratic ones, are structurally incapable of bringing about anarchy or even approximating anarchist ends. Even if voting was somehow capable of imposing positive change upon us, it violates the principle of means-ends unity.
The first thing that comes to mind is the Green Party.
Now, I don’t know what the principle of means-end unity is, but I guess it makes sense that it wouldn’t be possible to “bring about anarchy” from within the system. However, I wonder whether a different party being elected world make it easier/harder to do the things that can actually do that?
Anarchist theory comes from thousands of combined years of practical experience from generations of anarchists who came before us. Yes my position is proudly ideological, and practical. And anti-electoralism has been a staple of anarchist theory because of the practical reality that electoralism is a seductive but ineffective waste of time.
