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.

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.

But have you considered that a system that leads to fascism is still better than actually manifested fascism?? And yea, maybe we should fix it before it gets there, but if it can't be fixed with voting now then we should have voted harder before, and vote harder next time
As a soc dem, capitalism is only slightly better but the system needs heavy regulations. But with the burgeoning AI and automation, I am starting to lean more towards socialism. I mean, after AI "companies" stole our data to train their AI with, isn't it only right that WE should actually take rightful ownership of that? At some point, AI and automation will become advanced enough that most jobs will be gone and humans would not be needed anymore. When that time comes, the ordinary folks should take their rightful stake in that automation revolution by taxing robots or take communal ownership of AI to fund universal basic income and services. That is the best socialism we can get. Not only we can finally rid of social ails that plague humanity due to unbridled capitalism, but also we are taking away full power from oligarchs who stole our own data to begin with. They would not be there if it weren't for us to begin with.
Voting gives the illusion of choice and power. If it really made a difference we wouldn't be allowed to do it.
Voting gives choice and power. If it didn't make a difference they wouldn't try to stop you from voting
Roger Stone got Bush elected by swarming a court house
Trump has harassed the authenticity of voting, voting laws and registration rolls to prevent people from voting.
Action for the sake og action is fascist, therefore opposing fascism is fascism! Checkmate, fucking commies! They fucking got you!
Darnittt and I'm already voting against who I want in charge rather than who I actually want to have a majority. 😩 Is there like a fascist lite party I can vote for or something?? Obviously, I'd prefer no fascism but as we all no, it's that kind of talk that leads to the fascists taking over!
Sorry thats sounding suspiciously like action
Which is fascist.
it's not, actually, any better to be falling off a cliff that to have finished the fall.
Of course it is, you're only panicking, not panicking while in incredible pain.
the pain is inevitable. it's no better.
Might as well kill everybody since everybody eventually dies
not the takeaway you should have had there. how about you do something besides jump off the cliff, like oppose liberal democracy
Yes. Action for the sake of action is fascist. Wjat these damn dirty commies dont understand is that actually doing anything ever is the real fascism
And then we really would be no better than the red team!
Are you a god damned child?
Pretty sure the implication is that you'll be dead at the end of the fall
Have you considered that this is a false dichotomy?
It is sad reality in the two-party states.
.. if you're dead set on maintaining a liberal democracy, where "maintaining" refers to what you're seeing in the US with Trump right now. Also, it's not restricted to two party systems. Look at Europe.
Nah, I mean literally the US without some kind of revolution. States aren't THAT separate in the US.
Nope the only choice is fascism and that which leads there
