Love it, though would have put “abolish the system” rather than “fix the system” myself, since that implies trying to work within the existing framework, rather than completely outside of it.
That is a fair point. Although there is a point to be made that “the system” is democracy and overthrowing a government that doesn’t represent the population is a part of the system. But I agree that most people probably don’t think that way.
If you can think of any improvements feel free to make changes and upload your own version.
I see what you’re saying, and I think it would probably appeal more to those with left leanings who aren’t actually anarchists (yet 🤞), because it isn’t as big a shock to the system to think about fixing a thing they know vs abolishing that thing and starting something completely unfamiliar and most likely still foreign to them (even as an anarchist, thinking outside of the indoctrination, and constructs I’ve/we’ve been socialised with since birth can be a challenge), but then I’m also a big believer in not coddling people in to change - facing and sitting with the discomfort of seeing the box we’re kept in and starting to think outside of it is a huge and really important part of unlearning what we know and even how we are, so personally I generally favour blunt and to the point lol
I think having these conversations in the comments can be more helpful than posting an alternative, because the people your meme speaks to can read on and hopefully broaden their views!

Me too!

This should be the goal of this community. To share memes that invite people to discuss them, so the comments can make them think. The meme acts as a gateway to deeper leftist thought in the comments.

How often do you see toppled democracies get replaced with something awesome? That seems like a pretty big risk.
