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.

You know what I do when I see people (kids or adults) walking through my property? Nothing. Because they aren’t hurting me by taking a shortcut.

Italy: Fine, but a hill isn't a country, it's too small

Vatican: If I may...

You lie!

C'mon! They get a speck of beach. A speck should be enough for any country.

I already loved this format. This is a blending of two things that I adore, and I am grateful for it.

Don't even get me started on enclaves and exclaves.

This has been one of the anarchic ideas I have questions about.

Let’s say we have a burgeoning anarchic society. We’ve solved issues with intracommunity violence, production, and distribution. We’ve managed to negotiate peace with neighboring states so they aren’t a direct threat anymore. It’s the anarchist paradise we always wanted and things are going great.

However, one of these non-hostile states nearby gets involved in a war with another state. They end up losing and things get bad. Millions of refugees end up fleeing into the anarchist territory, far more than can easily be accommodated with existing systems. Furthermore, most of these people have been indoctrinated into thinking anarchists are violent, dangerous weirdos and don’t have any interest in our new society. They just want to keep doing their authoritarian capitalism but in a place that isn’t on fire.

I’m not saying borders are the best solution to this problem but it is clearly a problem that is possible or even likely to occur in the future. How would an anarchist society solve this issue? Isn’t there a danger that a wave of too many people with anti-anarchist ideology might risk the destruction of an anarchist society?

Zach Weinersmith's Open Borders is a fantastic (and amusingly illustrated) discussion of these types of concerns.

Every time I read something by this guy I like him more
