    I don’t get what happened here. Did you really said “electoralism is not the root cause of fascism”, meaning that power would end up corrupted no matter what, and people actually downvoted you on .world, meaning they would think that electoralism IS a problem ? That’s not at all the cliché I have for either .ml and .world folks.

    Or, since your original comment was edited later than its reply, did you edit it to make it say something else ?

      I added the word root, because i recognize it bears some influence. im not a native english speaker so sometimes what i type diverges from what i mean.

      clarifying: i mean that elections have already been corrupted and just a show. as evidenced by the fact the “more reasonable party of moderates” enacts more and more right wing policies to the point they are actually just conservatives now. this is not just an US phenomenon either, i live the same dilemma.
