    And here you see the real problem. You confine yourself to thinking that the options given to you by the bourgeois class are the only options. Have you considered there is more to political power than voting? I doubt the so called “root causes” you’re thinking of can be changed, at least in America, so if you really cared about harm reduction maybe try joining an org, volunteering for food not bombs, supporting pro Palestine protests etc, and these are just the mildest forms of direct action. Those madlads that smashed up the elbit factory did infinitely more to help the people of Gaza than you voting for biden ever will.

      Your proposed solution is violence against a private company instead of voting and having a rational discourse within the established societal system? I should give up voting to become a terrorist? Wow. Much intelligence. So smart.

        I should give up voting

        Why not? You said yourself the president doesn’t have any real power; you may as well vote for your cat.

        Also those guys aren’t terrorists, they were trying to stop a factory that produces weapons for a country that’s literally involved in a genocide.

        voting and having a rational discourse within the established societal system

        Go have that rational discourse from Gaza; charge your phone and stream your opinions on twitch.

        Having a rational discourse.

        This has been attempted for quite a while to no awhail. Since this was not listened to, violence is the necessary next step

        Yes, causing damage to the bourgeoisie is more effective than picking which bourgeoisie is in charge of the two available options, and its how every civil right was won. Sabotage is one step above strikes, and dragging a factory owner out of his home and beating him to death is only a few steps higher on the “listen to us or we’re not playing” scale
