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.

Wouldn't use the word "demonic" since demons aren't real, but yeah, it's definitely imperialist hegemonic abuse.
As for your ridiculous assertion that the Monroe Doctrine is all about "defending [Latin America] from colonists", that would make a lot more sense if not for the fact that all the "colonists" that the US "defend" against are Left wing (by name if not always by deed) leaders native to the respective countries who aren't sufficiently enthusiastically embracing exploitation at the hands of US business interests.
When Argentina declared war on the OG colonists to reclaim their territory in the Falklands War, the US first tried to kinda sorta but not really play the neutral peacemaker and then took the side of the colonists.
Selected by his vastly superior in every way predecessor Hugo Chavez (whom the US hated at LEAST as much as Maduro), not himself.
That he's since been awful and corrupt and quite possibly unduly influenced at least one election doesn't justify kidnapping and deposing him and bombing his people. If it did, doing the same thing in Washington DC would logically be equally legitimate.
So what the rest of South America needs is the fascism of the Trump administration in stead? Sounds like you're very heavily implying that you only mind authoritarian rule when it's not of the flavor that you've been indoctrinated to accept.
About time you were right about anything. Then again, FASCISM AND IMPERIALISM are also exactly what real anarchists oppose.
Sure, you're just defending Trump's ACTIONS, which have nothing to do with defending Trump! ๐
Correct for the second time, but like the first time, COMPLETELY at odds with everything else you said.
