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

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
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.
-
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.

Talking about the problems without also talking about the solution just angers people who don’t know how to fix things, which is not productive.
We all know what the solution is. But talking about it gets you banned and/or comments removed.
No one here will ban you for talking about overthrowing capitalism and overthrowing the state?
Depends on whether your comment involves threats of violence or not. Threats of violence are almost always met with a comment removed at minimum.
Here?
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com we can say we should kill the US politicians in a revolution, right?
I ain't your dad. However I do find such statements counter productive as it just scares people away from what anarchism is really about.
As for politicians, I'd rather make them equal to the rest of us. For those who've spent all their lives pampered in privilege that would feel intolerable. Of course the fash can get bashed
There is no peaceful way to overthrow capitalism.
What about posting an image of a green hat?
So find the mods and change their minds. Or, start a lemmy community with less moderation.
Leftists: posts agitprop meme
Liberals: "you can't just be angry, you need solutions!"
Leftists: posts meme with appropriate historical context and potential solutions
Liberals: "you leftists always talk too much, give me a tl;dr"
Not what is happening. You’re a good example of what I’m talking about though. Thanks for that.
I'm illustrating the pattern you liberals always use in response to our memes. The through line is that we never do it the "right" way. You came to an anarchist space to criticize our agitprop, and then get confused when we don't play your game. Why do we need a dissertation to go along with our agitprop?
I’m an anarchist. Sorry hon. Not gonna win.
I don't believe you, but whatever. Since when has agitprop required a dissertation?
Refusing to have conversations helps nothing.
Ok, so why did you chastise OP instead of starting the conversation?
I commented on the meme, not the user. And the conversation was about how these memes are missing the solution part.
That's not the point of agitprop. It never has been, and never will be.
You.
Are you trolling, or do you have a point?
Same question to you.
I've consistently said my point. Agitprop does not communicate solutions. It never has, and never will. The IWW did a lot of agitprop. Mr. Block comes to mind, as an example. They communicated grievances and got people upset at the current system. Education comes after the agitprop. This is like organizing 101 stuff.
I see no actions coming from this. Nothing is changing. Failed experiment. Solutions need to be added, new memes need to be generated.
Fine, if that's how you feel then do it yourself instead of complaining.
I’m allowed to complain. They like it when we fight with each other.
If people aren’t sufficiently angry at the system, they won’t bother to listen to a solution.
Gotta raise the discontent and class consciousness first.
It’s raised as far as it’s going to get. The system will have to get worse, but there won’t be the “until it gets better” part. It’s just going to keep getting worse until it’s so far gone no one can fix it.
