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.

Did you read the next sentence?

Yes I did. Garbage in, garbage out - just like everything else you've spawned here so far.

No one is going to vote to go on the offensive except zealots.

It's difficult for you to understand anyone risking their lives without a commissar standing behind them with a gun pointed at their head.

That tracks perfectly.

I guess tankies truly don't understand anything other than brutally press-ganging the working-class into building your backwards and bloodthirsty "worker's utopia" for you, eh?

full of literal die hards committed to the cause.

Right, right... when your bullshit take gets demolished by actual history you explain it away as "die-hard-ism."

Do you tankies ever fucking listen to the bullcrap emanating out of your own holes?

Everyone but hardcore partisans aren’t going to volunteer and even if they do they aren’t going to vote to risk there lives further by going on the offensive.

Oh, look... here comes the military expertise you gained by playing "Civilization" games again. Remember what I told you about getting your education from video games?

You see this in every case of a democratic military,

Oh really? I guess the Makhnovists decisively defeating a logistically and numerically superior PROFESSIONAL military force at the Battle of Perehonivka and pursuing this brouted enemy all the way back to the Crimea while the press-ganged and (supposedly) "disciplined" Bolshevik goons squads could manage little more than terrorising unarmed Ukrainian peasants is an example of anarchist militaries "hunkering on the defensive."

Blow it out of your ass.

in other revolutionary movements that were able to succeed like the bolsheviks in 1917?

Such as? The Spartacist Uprising, perhaps? Much succesful, that one. The Cuban Revolution, perhaps? You know, the very same Cuban Revolution that had the benefit of being logistically supported by the newly-minted CIA while the Batista regime was placed under an arms embargo? The anarchists of Ukraine and Spain would have LOVED that level of "non-aid."

What examples of "unsupported" movements do you have?

Do you think any criticism of anarchism makes someone a tanky?

Again... why would an (alleged) “non-tankie” be peddling cartoonish tankie propaganda?
