Why I don't vote
The title of this post answer the topyc, the vote, the democracy, the state, the citizenship.
Well, I can resume why I don't vote with just one word (or two, maybe with a premise: I'm libertarian. But obviously, I want to explain why I don't vote if I'm libertarian, if you don't know what is be libertarian.
I'm, or my ideology, is a combination of the libertarian marxism and the social anarchy, and in my case, clasist feminism. So, this combination you can call like "libertarian", or "anarchy comunist" but I don't like the last 'cause I hate the comunist, specialy the leninist. Being libertarian, (with the three combinations I said) I don't believe in the authority in any form, I explain, in the family, in the school, in the society, etc, so, I don't believe in the State, because the state is any form of authority, sheltered in the police and the army, and they are authority too. So, when I don't believe in the state, HOW CAN I VOTE FOR HIM? I don't vote, not because I don't believe in the democracy, 'cause I believe in the democracy, but not in this "democracy". It's a stupid appropriaton of the word, and the people (stupid too?) have faith in that.
I believe in other form of the democracy, the federal democracy WITHOUT state, just with people belonging to any comunity and any territory. They can make their own decitions and don't depends of anyone, any extern person like the state of chile intervening the Araucanìa, and killing Mapuches. I think the Mapuches can live alone, if they want to do that, but the state bother their democracy and intervenen all de time. That isn't democracy, but is legitimize because the people vote, 'cause the vote have a little letter saying "when you vote, you legitimize all of the actions of the state, and you can't intervene 'because we can take you to prison!!"
So, I don't vote anything bound the state, but I can vote things in my work territory (the university), or my comunity (my condominium), and do things of change the world with organization INDEPENDENT OF THE STATE.

It's interesting what your wrote, but I don't really agree with you. I think we should fight for changing the state's character, but not destroy it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's really interesting talking and thinking about this things, so thank you for writing!
i agree with the idea of federal state, but i think an instance over the local governances, is necessary for taking really care of the well being of citizens, something that clearly is not happening at the time, or very poorly.
ReplyDeleteI think it is interesting but complex. It would take too much work to organize as communities but it would be nice. You make a lot of sense I agree and I also dislike the system we live in.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I go to annul my vote every time. It's crazy but it makes sense to me.
