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.

Leftists: you have two years to get a candidate that doesn't support genocide through the primaries, and if you can't, just vote for the one that supports genocide the least.

Radlibs: so you want Trump to win

and fascism is YOUR FAULT btw, because you didn't vote hard enough.

YOU have two years to pick a candidate why are you letting the liberal establishment pick for you?? You guys never turn up till the federal elections and wonder why they don’t care about your input

The fuck I don't. I toed the line, still lost, still get blamed when the diversity hire can't beat Donald fucking Trump. Getting clapped by a shit stain should probably prompt a deeper introspection

because it's not a democracy. oligarchs are the ones doing the choosing.

Did you vote in the primaries, join the party and volunteer for your local candidate?

Interested in liberal takes on this video with a pre-MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell. He says to be willing to withhold your vote in order to push the party left. The exact opposite of the shit libs say today.

I trust the people who used to work for the Democratic Party to know how they think. If they're going to tell me to shut the fuck up because I have nowhere else to go, why would they listen to me at any point of the bullshit dog and pony shows we put on?

No of course not, he’s just bitching on the internet.

As a European, I have to say that the libs in this example are right, because the US voting system is completely fucked with the electoral college, winner-takes-all and all that gerrymandering (and soon more).

So they either have to vote dem (however bad their candidate is) and then unfuck it, so they can do a real election afterwards, or violently install a leftist government and proper democracy.

Tried it voted Biden, who didn't want to leave power even while he was losing it occasionally. Eventually when he did stop running, it was Kamala who thought it would be better to court right.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 2 points 46 minutes ago

You thought Copmala, with ther horrible record and from the same horrible party would be better?
What are you americans smoking?

Your 2 party system has been ridiculed even by Marx, that's how long you suckers have been falling for this shit.
Even now they can't wait to go back to it.
You all deserve what you get.

Yup. The Democratic party leadership is either so inept that they think a strong economy is a replacement for social welfare at home and abroad or they're actively working to fill the same pockets as the right.

They (dem leadership) cave on these shutdowns because they got their PR and they're fine being fascist as the alternative would impact their bank account.

I hope I'm wrong this time, i would be so happy to be wrong, but it seems insane to expect the pattern to change under the same leadership.

Hey thanks for delaying Trump's second term those four years. I spent those four years helping My partner recover from its crippling disabilities and working on My career. I don't know if we're going to be in a financial place to get it out of the US before Trump sends ICE after trans disabled people and puts it in a concentration camp, but because of you we have a chance. Keep up the good work.

As a side note, do you think a GoFundMe to get it out of the country and to My country would get much traction?

Logic would say that's the thing to do. But our lib party won't do anything with a win though. In fact the worse a GOP candidate is, the more permission our DNC feels they have to run a dumbass.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

If you don't like the candidates, you RIGHT NOW need to be running or organizing a movement for someone who is! Are you using your power to get progressives to win primaries or just complaining about the result you let be decided for you?

Don't content yourself with another election cycle of "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" followed by a couple more years of snide whining. Be the change, for the love god please, because we need one.

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Dont do real activism, just vote!

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Don't make political change IRL, just post about it online!

And vote! Which are functionally two different things! Yeah!
