As an anarchist, it really does not matter and voting, even with the intention to show dissatisfaction is ineffective since our entire goal is the abolition of states or government in the first place. With this as our goal, I don't think any elected government could be justified in having my vote.

The comments I made are from the stand-point of a "pragmatist" which is an oxymoronic description of it because it is not really practical from an anarchist stand-point. Those were views that I used to hold as a liberal when I still believed that the system can change and they are views that I don't really hold any more.

Last year I voted for the party that my country calls "the radical left" because I felt they were different enough for the vote to be justified. If I was only given the choice of my two establishment parties then I wouldn't have voted at all. I guess it can be situational. Definitely don't buy into the liberal hype every election cycle. Vote or don't vote, it doesn't matter. Agitate and activate, that does matter
