“Bourgeois democracy, although a great historical advance in comparison with medievalism, always remains, and under capitalism is bound to remain, restricted, truncated, false and hypocritical, a paradise for the rich and a snare and deception for the exploited, for the poor.” – V. I. Lenin, Bourgeois and Proletarian Democracy
Let's start this month off with the reality of voting, it's absolute meaninglessness, and the deception of getting sucked into casting your ballot every four years for yet another lying motherfucker who is only there to represent the interests of his/her class, and of course to line his own pockets as well.
Getting people to vote is so important to the bourgeoisie because they need it to legitimize their rule, their theft, their lies, and their invasion of other countries in order to steal their natural resources and keep the world's population in bondage to the ruling classes of the (mostly) western imperialist countries. Cheap labour, including children, is being used to enrich those motherfuckers. We are all fucking parasites to a greater or lesser degree, and the only thing that will change all of this for real, is Revolution. Read.
Let's get down to basics: We need a revolution. Anything else, in the final analysis, is bullshit.
Now, that doesn't mean we don't unite with people in all sorts of struggles short of revolution. We definitely need to do that. But the proffering of any other solution to these monumental and monstrous problems and outrages is ridiculous, frankly. And we need to be taking the offensive and mobilizing increasing numbers of masses to cut through this shit and bring to the fore what really is the solution to this, and to answer the questions and, yes, the accusations that come forth in response to this, while deepening our scientific basis for being able to do this. And the point is: not only do we need to be doing this, but we need to be bringing forward, unleashing and leading, and enabling increasing numbers of the masses to do this. They need to be inspired, not just with a general idea of revolution, but with a deepening understanding, a scientific grounding, as to why and how revolution really is the answer to all of this.

-MAKING REVOLUTION AND EMANCIPATING HUMANITY, PART2
And further, to quote Joseph Stalin, (that's right, you quaking liberal fucks), on whether he thought that a radical transformation could happen within the framework of bourgeois democracy:
To think that such a revolution can be carried out peacefully within the framework of bourgeois democracy which is adapted to the rule of the bourgeoisie means that one has either gone out of one’s mind and lost normal human understanding, or has grossly and openly repudiated the proletarian revolution.”
This illustrates the point perfectly. This is their system, in economics, culture, superstructure, etc. From the school system brainwashing us to follow blindly, to the shit jobs that we beg to work for them, to the fucking prisons, full of poor people, minorities, and rebels against the fucking system, whether they are consciously fighting the power, or just plain fucking angry at the world. This shit is theirs. We will not defeat them by playing by their rules. It is not our deficit, they are not our troops, this crap belongs to the ruling class. It will not benefit the average shit wage earner if the fucking canadian troops go to fucking afghanistan. It will benefit the war profiteers, and every parasite that stands to make a buck off of the long suffering Afghan people, including canadian mining concerns. Voting gets you nowhere. This garbage has to be thrown out.
I will end this with one more Bob Avakian quote, which sums everything up nicely.

An Appeal to Those
the System Has Cast Off
Here I am speaking not only to prisoners but to those whose life is lived on the desperate edge, whether or not they find some work; to those without work or even homes; to all those the system and its enforcers treat as so much human waste material.Raise your sights above the degradation and madness, the muck and demoralization, above the individual battle to survive and to “be somebody” on the terms of the imperialists—of fouler, more monstrous criminals than mythology has ever invented or jails ever held. Become a part of the human saviors of humanity: the gravediggers of this system and the bearers of the future communist society.
This is not just talk or an attempt to make poetry here: there are great tasks to be fulfilled, great struggles to be carried out, and yes great sacrifices to be made to accomplish all this. But there is a world to save—and to win—and in that process those the system has counted as nothing can count for a great deal. They represent a great reserve force that must become an active force for the proletarian revolution.
