Add political appointments can be recalled by the voters.

That's interesting, how would that work? If a political appointment was recalled, there would need to be another vote right? I think it gets pretty muddy, what's to stop bad actors from immediately voting to recall the politician they didn't want to win?

You forgot to add abolishing slavery.

Considering that lemmy.world is pretty much just a ball of pearl-clutching white liberalism these days it's not very surprising.

Amerikkka should not exist. It must be abolished. There are concessions the State & capital will adhere to when we mobilize, but revolution will never be on the ballot.

Domination is a byproduct of coercive hierarchy. To free ourselves from domination we have to be strategic in how we interact with systems of power. Non-reformist reforms can improve our material conditions in the short term, but true liberation is only achieved when we abolish all States, abolish Capitalism and abolish hierarchy.

We don't have to bargain for our humanity. We have the capacity to collectively organize and care for ourselves and the environment.
