You dont understand, my centralized power structure is based on giving. It could never be commandeered by power hungry psychopaths and used for their own gain like the rest of the power structures around the globe.

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.

If you "don't believe in power structures" you're not even a fucking anarchist, you're a child out here larping. Anarchism isn't "the abolition of all power structures" it's the abolition of unjust and arbitrary power structures. You literally cannot have a fucking functioning society without some form of hierarchy to it, there has to be some sort of decision making body whose decisions need some sort of enforcement structure. The whole fucking point to anarchism is ensuring that all is based on democratic participation and not "the bourgeoisie or nobility have all the power"
NATO "anarchists" out here acting like the Catalonian syndicalists just magically got shit done without having any officers elected to direct work

yeah thats not what marxists believe. you’re the one making bogus uneducated claims rofl
So either anarchism has no power structures, thus implicitly admitting that it is fundamentally incapable of bringing about the political change that it advocates for, or it has a power structure and thus it is liable to be commandeered by power hungry psychopaths and used for their own gain like the rest of the power structures around the globe.
Which way, western anarchist?

The excuses some of y’all come up with for not doing anything never cease to amaze me, do you really think you can bring about revolutionary political change by just asking nicely? If actual anarchists were like you the ideology of anarchism would rightfully be taken about as seriously as Posadism

One of the tent-poles of Marxism is the idea that actions are driven by material conditions. It seems so obvious to me that the material conditions of a self-appointed vanguard class (regardless of their original intentions) will lead them to be tyrants. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" as they say.

I've depicted you as the soyjak, while I am the chad. Checkmate, tankie. 
what bogus uneducated claims are MLs making about anarchists? most of us began our political journey as anarchists. i myself am only an ideological marxist. idealistically im an anarchist and marxism leninism is a viable path to get there.
if we want our freedom as working class people we need to build authority and exert it over the bourgeoisie.

Care to share any examples of this happening?
