People really do not grasp the concept of “dual power” and harm reduction when it comes to anarchist “participation” in electoralists systems.

You don’t try to shift it to be less oppressive. None of this “change the system from the inside” nonsense. It is oppressive by its very fundamental nature. The only reason for an anarchist to participate in the electoralist system is to protect the interests of the collective and ensure that you are able to conduct your internal business as you see fit. This means lobbying and leveraging your local power to prevent private industry from forcing their way in to extract the wealth of your community while simultaneously facilitating the existence of anarchist structures.

Essentially, you become a roadblock for private interests while facilitating the growth of anarchist and community interests.
