    August Nimtz wrote a book about this, it’s called “voting fetishism.”

      I would like to say I’ll take a look, but i won’t. I don’t have the time right now. I did search it and it seems like it has to do with voting in a communist country?

        He studied Lenin’s notes about voting in Russia before the revolution and compares it to today. I get it. I never get to read half the stuff I’d like to. He also spoke on the Upstream podcast if you have time.

          The Podcast I can get behind. I’ll give that a shot.

            Upstream deserves praise. It has some intelligent conversations, not just dictations.

                👍 You clearly think rationally, so if you have any recommendations for reading, YouTube, listening, I would appreciate it. I enjoy learning about how the world works.

                    You pretty much summed it up. I found it interesting how Nimtz explains it. He parallels how the government in Russia compares to what we’re seeing in America now. Upstream has some elevated conversations. I don’t agree with many, but I appreciate different points of view.
