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.

To be clear, I left long before I was an anarchist. I joined when the party was quite new and I had hopes that this will be a parliamentary party, kind of the Green Party of my generation. But when they got into regional parliaments (including in the capital) and nothing happened, I was disillusioned. It took less than a legislative period for them to loose momentum and don't make it to any parliament anymore, at least in the country I live in. I never believed in parties outside of parliament. In the past, I felt that voting only works when you vote for a party in parliament, now I still vote but think change comes through pressure from the street, including direct action and mutual aid.
This together with the understanding of direct democracy that didn't really work that way. I spare you the anecdote of a guy who used this phrase to malign a project that was open for everyone but he wasn't engaged enough to participate so he called it intransparent.
Also I left town and didn't watch out for the new local chapter.
Yeah, I'm with you
It was a clusterfuck of too many voices, without fulfilling their own real goal of self resolving, when we don't need parties anymore, but have real direct basic democracy
As said, I still think, this is the way to go at the moment, but I'm just so fed up with party politics - as it seems you're as well...
Our experiences don't differ that much actually
I've been shortly part of a EU lobby org to fight for net freedom - and I still support them, as I see more success there, than in the national clown show...
