Isn't it that we punch/protest against and resist in all ways except those that are mediated? except those that separate us from our own autonomous power? It's not just voting that we don't do.

the "we should resist in all forms" argument doesn't really work because there are tonnes of other forms of resistance that we don't do but nobody mentions those

If you think that voting makes no difference and ultimately only reproduces bad things, but that we should do it because diversity of tactics, then you could use the diversity of tactics argument to argue for anything that's completely useless and counterproductive

e.g.
Let's all baaaa like sheep at people in the voting queues!

Fascists do come into power in part because they are voted in (much of the time), but to suggest that this is the key point in fascist power-building is to miss out on all the other important elements of fascist power building, of which there are many
organising autonomously against those elements means we keep our power and we grow in it
