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.

Yeah. Everyone knows there is not any kind of contract people sign. States exert control by their nature of controlling certain areas within borders, and you being born there or immigrating there subjects you to its control. This does sound very similar to sovcit rhetoric given their whole focus on contracts and legal agreements you've somehow unknowingly made with the state but still exist out there somewhere. (though I get that's probably not the actual OP's intent with this ofc)

Whether the existence of the state(s) to exist as a structure of power is a good thing is another question, though.

Sovcits treat the law like it's some arcane art. Anarchists usually employ power analysis to uderstand where laws come from.

But social contract theory is employed by statists to justify the state. So ridiculing it is fair game without being called a sovcit.
