ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    Vote it away. It’s been a joke for so long and people cling to the idea that it works so badly. I am Canadian. We are also past voting. The systems of government must be torn down. They are corrupt and do not work for the people.

      Hear hear…

      I’m in the UK and we have the same situation + monarchy, for added funsies. I keep thinking people are getting enough of a glimpse behind the curtain at the fact that the system wasn’t designed to serve them, but to centralise power in the hands of very few people who exploit the rest to continuously strengthen their own power, but part of those efforts are the propaganda, and it just goes to show how well it works that despite so much ugly truth being revealed over and over, some people still see “my team vs your team” as the only way to exist. It’s both sad and very scary.

              Solidarity!

              I just looked up that group, I’m assuming this is it? I’ve only skimmed the page and will give it a good read in a bit, but that’s really fucking cool, I wish I wasn’t hundreds of miles away lol but it’s always good to see leftists organising in this country! I’m in the process of moving, not sure exactly where to yet, but once that’s happened I’m hoping to find some anarchist and communist folks locally to wherever I am, having that kind of community is so valuable.

                Looks interesting but no not that group, we’re based on signal and WhatsApp and do weekly meeting to organise around local issue as well as global. Its more of an active social. Currently we have plans for a Stop reform demo as theyre coming to Exeter on Saturday and end of the month a counter demo countering a fascist demo.

                If you end up in the devon area let me know and I will have you added to our group but if not then good luck I hope you find a good space and do some revolutionary stuff ✊

                  Oh wow, wild miss there… 😂 but your group sounds even more like my kind if thing tbf… I hope the counter demo goes well, stay safe, and bash some fash.

                  I don’t think I’ll end up down south again, but I will try and remember this conversation (I’ve saved it!) and potentially check back to see if you’d know of any local connections wherever it might be or have any advice for finding comrades. I have a lot of my own shit to try and get together, but I really hope that this move whenever it eventually happens will be an opportunity to really build a good local support and affinity network.

                    reach out whenever comrade my matrix account is linked in my profile and hope your eventual move goes well.

                    Edit: if you move to a city youll have no issue, anarchists do an amazing job postering. or sign up to SUTR attend a local rally or demo youll find comrades. dont get to involved with SUTR as they are SWP and use the brand to funnel money from unions while also outsourcing union work which creates a lazy leadership. rant over lol.
