Uma perspectiva anarquista sobre as eleições nos EUA
Representative democracy is just like the free market: everyone supposedly gets a chance, but only a few come out on top. If you don’t win, you must not have tried hard enough! This is the same rationalization that our rulers use to justify the injustices of capitalism, sexism, and racism: look, you lazy bums, you could have been Bill Cosby or Hillary Clinton if you’d just worked harder.
The rest of us know the system is rigged to make us all losers. We deserve another world, another way of distributing power and resources that values everyone’s needs equally. If someone has to be a failure, let it be the ones who aspire to world domination, whose triumphs make us feel small; if anyone must languish in prison, let it be the politicians who seek power at everyone else’s expense. That would be some real Hope and Change.

Concordo que existe uma associação de interesses clara entre o sistema económico e o sistema político, caso contrário, nem este último sobreviveria. Neoliberalismo + democracia parlamentar. Já o dizia o velho Marx, sempre actual!
Temos é que inventar ou recriar formas alternativas de viver em sociedade. Mais igualitárias, mais justas!
Um abraço revolucionário
