In what way will it not matter if someone else controls the state?
It doesn’t matter because if we take direct action and prefigure mutual aid networks for improving our lives the state fucking collapses from its own contradictions. The reaction from whatever is left from the state to those movements would be identical whether they’re nominally left or right
So I guess they better not sleep or have other hobbies then, either, right? I don’t think expecting maximum optimization is realistic.

Many people will suffer and die if the state collapses abruptly. Especially if it continues on the trajectory the right wing is aiming it right now. We should avoid the equivalent of an unsafe shutdown. We can do more than one thing at a time, especially when one of those things is “spend 15 minutes once a year voting against the store brand nazi”. If you just forfeit on this front, people will be rounded up and disappeared because that’s what won the election, and there are enough people that comply, and enough people that are eager for that. Voting won’t magically fix everything, but it can act as harm reduction.
They cannot do both! Time is finite.

What? That makes no sense with what I was saying.
not if it collapses due to anarchist prefiguration. That’s the whole point!
Honestly I don’t think you’re reading or comprehending what I’m saying so I think I’ll just disengage here.
