Subject: RE: anarchists & voting


Tsk, tsk. All these arguments and theory about the
vote.

Guys, everyone has multiple goals in life. i.e 
1. Create Anarchist Utopia
2. Get Laid
3. Survive
etc.
etc.
etc.
Not necessarily in that order.
We do not live in a vacuum.

So, while voting might not do one whit to realize the
Anarchist Utopia(tm), it might keep your kids (or you)
from being drafted and sent abroad to kill and be
killed. Or might save you family from being anthraxed.
or whatever. Or stop foreigners from being piled into
naked pyramids.

Now by not voting to remove Bush, you become
responsible for any further abuses his SS might do.
Because you know what he is doing, and by not acting
to try and stop him, by standing aloof on an unrelated
principal, you are condoning his actions. 

What has stopping Bush got to do with Anarchism? Does
this mean that if you cannot stop an atrocity in an
Anarchist way, you won't stop it at all? Stand by and
watch?
