Most certainly. The rotating dictatorship system is impossible to topple because every 4-5 years the citizenry are asked to consent on who rules them (regardless of whether their vote has any real impact) and this placates them somehow. As long as that consent is being asked for, people will put up with all manner of abuses so long as they know they'll get another chance to choose their oppressor in a few years, regardless of how binary the choice ends up being. That's why fascism and communism flopped - people got sick of not having a say and rose up. Democracy is the most successful totalitarian system by far, and has done the most damage, both to the planet, to people's lives, and to the collective consciousness. People are so thoroughly indoctrinated into the democracy cult that even "anarchists" sing its praises.

remember before biden took over, when libs were openly talking about abolishing the police? then biden sits in the chair, hands billions to the police, promises to lock up anarchists, hits indigenous water protectors with racketeering charges, and it's... crickets

It's because of anarchy's conflation with democracy by chomsky, graeber, bookchin and McKay. democracy is all about compromise, two-sidesism, accepting defeat, kowtowing to the will of others and patiently waiting for great men in suits to deliver your desires rather than taking what you want yourself
more broadly, it's a lack of imagination. people have become so immersed in the system (democracy) that they can't imagine anything else.
clearly democracy isn't delivering anything desirable, and is in fact leading to further and further rightwing drift as resources become scarcer and voters become more reactionary, but it's the nature of their red-and-blue dyed hopium that they won't stop believing in the system no matter how many times it fails them

I mean, do you really expect me to live in a world where the government grants for my new Tesla are taken away? A world where all that lithium just sits in the ground in some backhole shithole country instead of being extracted to the Umited States where it can be put to good use? You heartless inhumane fucking deviant. Think of all the jpbs Uncle Joe creates when he sends the military to secure new lithiym deposits. Do you hate lifting people out of poverty too??

Why ziq, if we have an imperialist system in place, if we have to loot and slaughter the global South to enfatten our wallets and build our infrastructure, wouldn't be harm reducing if I and my fellow citizens of the empire got to partake in the spoils a bit more than currently? Are you really so evil to not care about the plight of middle class whites?

It's sad when a liberal comes to an actual anarchist space and tries to do their tired A vs B routine when anarchists know option C is and always has been anarchy. Not that a liberal would ever open their eyes to option C or even understand that it's an option.
A far right regime will have zero effect on the world outside your borders. Your country has been raining death down on the global South for decades and installing fascist dictatorship far and wide. The corpses don't give a shit if you are afforded cheaper healthcare (option A) or lower taxes (option B) with the spoils of imperialism.

Joe isn't even lying. Right after he was elected he said:
Anarchists should be prosecuted, and local law enforcement can do that.
And this bootlick is all "4 more years!"

you're not the electoral college so your vote is meaningless

biden made your country far more dangerous for anarchists and minorities since he massively increased the size and budget of the police force, including border cops and oversaw both the biggest murder rate by cops in history and the biggest murder rate of trans people in history. why would an anarchist campaign for the guy who massively increased the size of the government's enforcement arm and the daily extrajudicial executions of marginalized people? do you have a death wish? or are you just a white middle class liberal who isn't in any danger of police violence and actually benefit from your uncle joe keeping the streets clear of pesky migrants and dangerous black children?
-
he just committed genocide and the blood is still in his fingernails, yet you think this is a good time to tell anarchists to fall in line with your fascistic political program? when 33000 corpses are under the rubble of a cratered city and millions are starving?
-
the phrase 'harm reduction' means providing clean needles and safe injection sites for heroin addicts. If you want to spend your day at uncle sam's play ballot box party, fine, but it's obscene to pretend your little patriotic excursion has anything to do with reducing harm when Biden has massively increased harm by every single metric:

I don't think "We've surpassed our quota of trans drone pilots" and "we've begun hunting trans people with drones" are necessarily mutually exclusive options, unfortunately.
sure but working to maintain the first option is incredibly obtuse. some french people collaborated with the nazis during WW2 because they got benefits out of it, and they were rightly shunned by the people who resisted the occupation

democracy
it's the biggest entryist flimflam anarchy has ever witnessed
they're swear up and down that their democracy is real democracy but all they're doing is opening the door to government and all the other -cracys that come with it. If they're going to conflate anarchy with rule of the majority, of course they're going to see it as a pro-government, pro-state philosophy. The Greek word democracy (demokratia) literally means "popular government" or "state of the people".
There are more social democrats calling themselves anarchists now than at any time in history. And honestly they're barely even social democrats since they're non-stop campaigning for a far right cop like Biden. They're conservatives at best.
