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.

I’m my department’s open anarchist / communist. I get the usual flak but I get a lot of people asking actual questions especially because I openly consider firefighting a part of mutual aid. Especially volunteers. The right wing trump folks, I push back on and have turned more than one around. They’re stupid, so it’s easy to talk circles around them.
In mine, I'm amazed at the amount of people who openly agree with me when I claim my left-wing status and start ranting about not having a left wing party that matters, who openly clamor for a union, who happily agree about the incredibly wealthy bosses taking in millions while some of our coworkers live in cars... and then they start spouting the fox news talking points a few minutes later. Especially with immigration/national security/"think of the children!" matters, it seems like we are culturally infected with maga rot even in otherwise 'normal' or even 'leftist' folks.
i like using what i have no idea if it’s “real” rhetoric but some form of “so there’s a line that’s ok with you?”
the US blows up a girls school. No problem? But Russia blows up a house and its bad? So what’s the line? 10 civilians? 1000?
if you toss in a dig that indicates they’d just throw up dip spit into their scba if we ever had to respond to a blown up girls school anyway… they usually shut up. no offense if you dip. (stop)
