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.

It's so frustrating. Time and again in democracies, we're shown that most people are best served by the policies of the left. But the left keep losing with breathtaking consistency, because of ignorance and infighting. If the politically aware were able to compromise with each other enough to organise and campaign, they would be able to inform the politically ignorant enough to walk every election.
Communists and liberals should be able to find some common ground and just work from there, instead of focusing on their differences. This is what the right dies, and that's why it's winning.

It’s odd that people cannot see the obvious: “those instances“ are simply fronts for Russian and Chinese influence campaigns. They actually prefer Republicans in power, Trump in particular, because they harm America. They want to divide the left and create litmus tests for DNC candidates that are impossible to achieve. Notably, the MAGA grifters benefiting from this division are unbridled by these requirements.

These are the same people who started the whole “Genocide Joe” mantra in order to breed apathy on the left. It doesn’t seem to matter that Trump wants to kill or displace every Palestinian and turn their home lands into a resort.

This is just something y'all say, it's made up. On the rare occasions where I've encountered a Trump supporter on here I call them out the same way. I suppose I could go over to Truth Social and try to sell them on communism but I doubt they'd be particularly receptive, and besides, our people built the platform.

They want to divide the left and create litmus tests for DNC candidates that are impossible to achieve.

"Met with the news the Israelis delivered the most devastating bomb & artillery attack on W. Beirut lasting 14 hours. Habib cabled—desperate—has basic agreement from all parties but cant arrange details of P.L.O. withdrawal because of the barrage. King Fahd called begging me to do something. I told him I was calling P.M. Begin immediately. And I did—I was angry. I told him it had to stop or our entire future relationship was endangered. I used the word holocaust deliberately & said the symbol of his war was becoming a picture of a 7 month old baby with it’s arms blown off. He told me he had ordered the bombing stopped—I asked about the artillery fire. He claimed the P.L.O. had started that & Israeli forces had taken casualties. End of call. Twenty mins. later he called to tell me he’d ordered an end to the barrage and plead for our continued friendship. Spent rest of day meeting with Congressmen on Tax bill."

Diary entry of Ronald Reagan, August 12, 1982.

Don't try to tell me supporting an end to the genocide is "impossible."

Notably, the MAGA grifters benefiting from this division are unbridled by these requirements.

No they fucking aren't.

Yeah, it's especially obvious when you call them out on how silly or ridiculous their take is and they just come back at you with some extreme non-sequitor that does nothing to engage with the argument you make. I'm sure there are some "real" people on those instances, but they're definitely drowning in the flavor-aid at this point.

Dehumanising people for disagreeing with you and being racist towards Chinese and Russian people is so amazingly leftist of you. I wish I could be this principled and progressive.

Looks like something a liberal would do

Humans as a whole are probably hopeless. It’s always the same cynical shit in the end

[–] NoTagBacks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 56 minutes ago

Humans as a whole are fine. We should probably focus on the few that grab power and drag the rest of us down. We've done it before, we'll do it again. Things are going to be different, but we'll be okay.

Agree, every literal communist should clown on anarchists more instead

I'd prefer we not recreate the Makhno situation

[–] PlanchetteGhost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Wait till you hear about anarcho-communists.

Pannekoek already called them "radical liberals" in one of his texts
