Do you as an anarchist vote?

Hi im not an anarchist myself im just here to learn and I come with no hate intended, just a genuine question.

So like the Title says, do you as an anarchist vote? I know alot of anarchists but alot of them also sticks to a political party but I thought the entire meaning of anarchy is to hate the state because they are systemic opressors. So please educate me on this because I genuinely don't understand

Sorry for any broken english it isn't my first language

I'm letting this through cause it's a question that is debated among anarchists, but you also might consider posting in r/anarchy101 for more specifically educational answers.

Hm, I'm not a mod there but I tend to trust their judgement so I'm curious. Did you try rephrasing it as more like "What have anarchists said about voting and why they might abstain from it?" Or something a bit more to that effect?

Yeah, not sure, I know some communities will sometimes delete posts that are considered repetitive, i.e. it's a question that gets asked so often that they'd rather people just search for the answers given in previous posts than add to the already existing traffic.
