RE: The Great Voting Debate: To Vote Or Not to Vote with Jeff Berwick and Mark Skousen at Freedomfest
"Goldman believed that voting was useless at best and dangerous at worst. Voting, she wrote, provided an illusion of participation while masking the true structures of decision-making."
Sick quote. I agree with it. The election process is basically like a charade, as I see it, and best just not to give life to it.
I don't think there's anything technically wrong with voting (or running for office) tho, as some anarchists/voluntaryists will claim. It doesn't violate the non-aggression principle. I see it as just pointless and maybe a waste of energy.
