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.

The first text that introduced me to crimethinc was this: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too.

Having seen one too many posts around the leftist comms on the subject, I made my own small meme about it. A bit more violent than what the article suggests but I think that makes it just that much more effective.

After all what would the life described here be other than suffering:

The worst punishment anyone could inflict on those who govern and police us today would be to compel them to live in a society in which everything they’ve done is regarded as embarrassing—for them to have to sit in assemblies in which no one listens to them, to go on living among us without any special privileges in full awareness of the harm they have done.

Excellent article. Not sure if it's just me but I can't see your meme.

Apparently slrpnk.net has a problem with svg files. Here is a screenshot png:

A black background with white text "No easy way out. Let the bastards suffer." In the middle, between the two sentences is a crossed out guillotine.

Something continues to be odd with the Lemmy full image proxy, but I am pretty much given up trying to find out what.

[–] Val@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Could it be that this is a svg file? The request says "Invalid media file provided".

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

In this specific case that is likely part of the problem, yes.

Yeah if we'll be switching to PieFed then probably not worth putting a ton of effort into.
