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.

Again not at all what he's advocating. Did you even read the book? I'm not particularly interested in arguing the point at large but if you're going to make the point you should at minimum use quotes that actually agree with you. Leninâs point in that passage is not âsupport whatever vaguely left bourgeois candidate is available because the masses are backwardâ. It is that communists should not abstain from bourgeois parliaments while workers still have illusions in them. The âyouâ in the passage is communists, organised independently, entering reactionary institutions under their own programme in order to reach workers, expose bourgeois democracy, and build communist influence. That is completely different from backing liberals/progressives/Democrats as the best available option. âWork within reactionary institutionsâ does not mean âsupport the candidates produced by those institutions.â It means communists use those arenas as platforms for communist agitation rather than standing outside them.
