It is pretty weird that there seems to be a view that revolution, general strikes, assassination of corrupt leaders etc. are somehow easier than just voting for the better option in each election.
I suspect it's a mix of abstract idealism over reality-on-the-ground, performative leftism, and (dons tinfoil hat) concerted efforts by authoritarians to sabotage any leftward motion ("interesting" how accelerationism aligns perfectly with authoritarian wishlists).
