As anarchists, we don’t believe that any election could validate police violence, homophobia, racism, or misogyny, nor prisons, borders, or the destruction of the natural world on which everyone’s survival depends. No vote gives anyone the right to dominate others. The important question for us is not how to improve democracy. The important question is how to defend each other from the violence of the state; how to find ways to meet our needs that don’t depend on unanimity or coercion; how to collaborate and coexist rather than compete for power. You could say that the opposite of fascism is freedom, or that it is solidarity, or direct action, or resistance. But it doesn’t make sense to say that it is democracy. Democracy, yet again, has been the mechanism that brought fascists to power. Rebel Girl: Hey Dogg, yknow, like any anarchist, I don’t want to be ruled by a right-wing strongman OR a left-wing Workers Party—hell, I’ll go even further and say that all the supposedly left-wing parties bear at least some culpability for strengthening the apparatus of the state so this Bolsonaro character could take it over
