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.

If leftists aren't calling each other libs, then we're calling each other tankies. Pick an insult and throw it at anyone that doesn't want to do the same type of fighting Nazis as you want to do.

Isn't the whole idea of communism liberal though?

[–] PlanchetteGhost@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

No? 😭 Liberals are capitalists

Think we should move away from politics, and focus on the more practical, economic changes. Like helping each other have less workload, creating victory gardens, and so on.

This is kind of easily explained :

  • Evil does not care if you're not 100% evil. If you're tainted even a little, that's good enough for them.

  • Good is obsessed with purity. If you are imperfect, or if you disagree on any point, they consider you tainted and play right into Evil's hand.

And yes, Left vs Right is just Good vs Evil, I don't think that's an unpopular statement here.

There's no such thing as good or evil. Everyone thinks they're good. And trust me neonazis are pretty obsessed with purity

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

I like to view it as Left vs Right is just People vs Machine.

People need to accept imperfect allies

Also what are you going to do with the Evil people? Better have them turn to your side. If they don't have the option because they've been on Evil side then there's no incentive for them to change, on the contrary. Does this mean criminals get out free? Of course not, it means hiring criminals after their sentence; treating them like people. Not throwing them out of society forever marked as Evil. Some won't change for sure, but that doesn't mean we should treat everyone the same and refuse to take what we can rather than have them support more Evil because they're forever tainted and refused the opportunity to change

Yup, because nobody is perfect. Everybody fucks up, thats just life.

I think it goes hand in hand with call out culture, it's good to try and hold people accountable or be critical of ideas -- but too many people push it too far for their own vanity or ego

Commies never question why vanguarding buro✱jacketing disenfranchises solidarity 🀦

What the fuck is a borujacketing

borujacketing

Maybe alapakala meant bad jacketing?

That makes sense, I think you're right.

[–] PlanchetteGhost@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

I question it all the time and it's exhausting to watch others fall for it.

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 9 points 14 hours ago

Communists and Liberals are natural enemies!

Like Fascists and Communists!

Or Social Democrats and Communists!

Or Anarchists and Communists!

Or Communists and other Communists!

Damn Communists! They ruined Communism!

Nothing unites Socialists more than fighting other Socialists.

MLs splintering and accusing each other of liberalism is a time honored tradition
