What is anarchist electoralism?
https://www.reddit.com/r/punk/comments/1g24e2b/swing_state_punks_please_save_us_vote/
I can say this as someone who grew up in punk and still loves punk: punk anarchism is really stupid and 99% of it has never touched an inch of anarchist theory. Even when the bands have done the homework, the punks don't really hear much beyond "I hate authority".
Punk Voter (headed by Fat Wreck if I remember right) from the Bush years ruined these people even more, because now they have strong beliefs about electoralism being a path against authority (despite the complete and utter failure of that campaign to have any impact).
That subreddit is even worse because its reddit and the only people going there are children asking about their battle jackets (thats fine, glad they have a spot) and old dudes who think they're really cool for pulling a Stevo from SLC Punk and they only listen to like 5 bands from 1981.
On one hand i agree with your assessment, tho here in europe i feel the scene is a bit different and while most people still dont necessarily delve into theory, at least were far from the "vooting is punk" shit as well.
