There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

I think you'd benefit from reading Leftist theory. Marxism and Anarchism are the two largest overall currents in leftist theory.

I have read some theory and I do know those are the main two currents. Doesn't mean I know enough about them or politics in general to choose either them or something else. Most of the books people actually recommend are ancient and hard to understand even if they are relevant. We have actually spoken about politics before somewhere if I remember correctly.

It's certainly possible! I comment quite a lot and try to encourage people to read more theory.

Is there anything keeping you from "picking" a current, or anything you wish you knew more about, specifically?
