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

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

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."

left = not capitalism

right = capitalism

this definition has formed since more or less (...) since the french revolution and has consolidated along with capitalism itself.

I wouldn't go that far, in a lot of ways capitalism was the left wing at the time. That was a liberal, ie capitalist, Revolution. Basically all the revolutions between the American Revolution up to 1848 were liberal and capitalist revolutions.

Woll, not that far back, after all the terms came later, but it was fairly set by the turn of the century.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Absolutist monarchism is right wing and not capitalist. Fascism often has anti-capitalist policies.

fascism is very much capitalism because its still based on the upwards flow of capital. id say moreso than "regular" capitalism.
