Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That's a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

Centrism can be argued to exist, but the right wingers insist it's the "radical leftism" of social democracy.

Does anyone call Biden a social democrat?

but the right wingers insist it’s the “radical leftism” of social democracy.

That shouldn't surprise us. The capitalist order only allows for the existence of two (supposedly) opposing ideologies - liberalism and fascism - that in reality is complementary to each other when it comes to maintaining their precious status quo.

So it stands to reason that fascists should cast liberals as the "Radical Left!" - that's the ideology they are taking over from as liberalism is failing to maintain the status quo. It's failing in it's role as "good cop."
