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

Rules

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

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  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.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

No, what you need to do is disrupt the livelyhood of the rich cunts. That means destroying the productivity of their businesses. How do you completely stop all productivity from something like a Tesla manufacturing plant? By making sure noone can get to work to work the machines.

Excellent idea! Shut down the plants the oligarchs are using to fund their oppression. Kudos!

How do you stop the businesses from selling the products of the oligarchs? Make sure they’re stuck in trafic, along with their customers.

Blocking traffic? Targeting their customers? Lumping customers in with the problem class? Keeping working-class people from getting to their jobs, or getting back home again? You just made an enemy of the general public. You aren't "protesting". You aren't "bringing awareness." You're campaigning for an authoritarian response against protesting. You're inviting expansion of laws and enhanced penalties for jaywalking, obstructing traffic, and protesting in general.

This attitude is what I am talking about. You aren't driving a wedge between reasonable people and their oppressors. You're declaring that reasonable people do not exist. Just to continue going about their lives, the general populace has to team up with their oppressors to shut down your obstruction. You're driving a wedge between the people and your cause, rather than using your cause to drive a wedge between the people and their oppressors.

There is definitely a right and a wrong way to protest; you've given us examples of both. Thank you!
