Flippanarchy
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.

What is guerilla war if not a series of well-planned assassinations by a much worse armed force. The USA showed the whole world how effective that tactic is at winning wars, by losing to it again and again.
That is absolutely not what insurgencies are. Assassination is a tactic - not a strategy - and it is most definitely not some "lens" through which to flatten and simplify what insurgency actually is. It's that very kind of superficial thinking that is the whole reason the US military establishment cannot fathom why they can't seem to win at this kind of warfare.
Just remember this... even dodgy tankie outfits like the Weather Underground and the RAF understood that assassination could only get them so far before it began backfiring on them in a big way - and, with hindsight, it's easy to see that they were still being way too optimistic about it.
Sure you want to hold onto this idea?
