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.

but then we tend to get into 'thats not real communism' or basically just meme/schrodinger's irony level argument territory

That was fast!

Sorry, I was trying to specifically use Lenin's conception/phrasing of "socialism" as the progressive process that builds society toward the idealized, but possibly not ever truly, perfectly achievable "communism".

Thats what I get for trying to use ML terms with an ML, I suppose.

So anyway, if a classless society is not the ultimate end goal of Marx, of Marxism... what would you describe the end goal of Marxism as?

You don't think perhaps it was the word "utopian," a word which in the discussion of various different socialist tendencies generally refers to the Utopian Socialists, a group that Marx vocally criticized?

Oof yeah, words can have multiple meanings in different contexts and change over time as well.

I meant it in the more common lingo that normal people mean by the word utopian, an idealized human society that is the best for all its members of any possible society.

Sorry, I don't spend that much time getting into online arguments with MLs and Socialism Understanders these days, as they tend to be so very, very pedantic and unproductive.

See how you almost got me to not notice you didn't even attempt to answer my most pertinent question?

Two faced dishonest hypocrite.

Note: this isn't an ad hominem because I'm not trying to dismiss an idea here, just point out that you're a contemptible person
