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.

I think history has shown that authoritarianism tends to be pretty successful, not that that means it will continue to be so. But even if that wasn't the case, if we only cared about what succeeds we'd all be deliriously happy with capitalism, wouldn't we?
Depends on your metric of success. By my metrics they are abysmal failures.
My metric of success for the purpose of this discussion is that we (most of us anyway) live in a capitalist economic system and not something else. It's 'succeeding' in the sense that nothing else has replaced it, like it replaced feudalism.
Obviously I don't think it's good or right or just, but I'm forced to acknowledge the fact that it's on top right now.
Ah, fair. They are certainly good at perpetuating themselves.
