Electoral system, which is a tool to stave off fascism long enough for class conciousness to build.

It literally isn't, and it has never worked as one. What historical examples are you basing this on? How many books have you actually read on the subject?

What books would you recommend?

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would start with the "economy and class structure of german fascism", "The capital order" goes into how neoliberalism is connected to fascisms modern resurgence.

I'll see if my library has em, but i am very well aware of how Neoliberalism is connected to fascism from what I have read on marxists.org I just dont agree with abstaining/denegrating the electoral process to remain ideologically pure. Criticism is great, but discouraging voter turn out in leftist spaces does nothing but accelerate mask off fascism from returning to power ie. The 2016 election.
