This is a slightly edited version of a talk given by Tommy Lawson to a panel hosted by Socialist Unity and Geelong Anarchist Communists in March, 2022. The topic of the panel was ‘should socialists participate in elections,’ however the idea was first posited as to discuss why anarchists do not run in elections. As such the article attempts to cover both bases. Details: Ttitle: Why Do Anarchists Abstain From Elections?
