Below is a text by the Italian anarchist communist Errico Malatesta,
that is still relevant at this point in time. ---- "The electionists
make two mistakes which are at the root of persistent illusions. ----
First, they mistake effect for cause, and attribute to the effectiveness
of the electoral struggle and the parliamentary system what little good
at rare times is done by electoral bodies while this is really the
effect of popular pressure , to which the rulers concede what little is
necessary to calm the people, anaesthetise their energy and prevent them
from demanding more.
Second, they compare what is done in the electoral struggle with what
would happen if nothing were done; while instead they should compare the
results obtained when other methods are followed and with what might be
achieved if all effort used to send representatives to power from whom
they expect reforms or proposed reforms, were employed in the fight to
directly achieve what is desired."
From article Electoral Struggle and Direct Struggle, 1895.
