    I understand that first past the post means whoever wins first, wins. The only thing preventing a non oligarch from winning is voters. But voters are terrified of losing the privileges that the status quo provides them.

    You can’t stop fascism if you don’t recognize it

        Centrism enables fascism. Liberalism enables fascism.

        A vote for either fascist is the spoiler

          The only thing that enables fascism is infighting among non-fascists. Instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, look in the mirror. Your politics vs my politics are irrelevant. All that matters is beating fascism.

                  Again, you don’t know the definition of fascism.

                  https://www.anarchistnews.org/content/it-fascism-now

                  Italian anarchists tried to organize a united front of the left and the unions to resist the Fascists physically, but the Socialist and Communist parties would not agree. A decade later, Leon Trotsky similarly urged the German Socialists and Communists to cooperate in combatting the Nazi Storm Troopers, with a similar lack of action by the Social Democrats and Stalinists.

                  Similar things happened in Spain. Either accept Democrats as allies against fascism, or enable fascism. Those are the only choices.
