Why won't Anarchists take part in democratic elections?
I understand that the ultimate goal of Anarchism is to do away with both government and capitalism, but surely it is logical to take part in a democratic election? Otherwise how do you know that the majority of people hold the same views as yourself, thus 'justifying' the cause so to speak?
If Anarchists are unwilling to resort to armed confrontation with the state then the ONLY option left is the democratic process, surely?
How else are we going to get the ideological revolution we are all striving for?
If no real choice is offered, people should at least go in and spoil papers - the only way to register dissent within the electoral process without actually voting.
