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.

in primaries that liberals run dishonestly for their own benefit. When they have them at all.
I'm sure elections against Republicans are all fair and run for the public good...
All the more reason to not second guess the electorate and force garbage genocidal candidates on them. Though it's nice to see that democrats can use the justification that republicans do it too, but only when it suits the cause of shutting out the progressives you prefer trump to.
Do you expect the power structure to bow to your moral superiority and hand you the election wrapped up with a bow on it?
A candidate has to fight and organize the community to support them. If they aren't politically savvy enough to win public opinion over literal genocide supporters, they don't have what it takes to survive in politics.
I expect the "democratic" party to live up to its name and have equitable rules for its primaries that it adheres to. And also to actually hold primaries consistently and not just make up excuses to disregard the will of the people.
I get that you like the system that puts genocide supporters like yourself in office.
You might as well wait for the Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea to hold up to its name too. Don't be so naive.
If you are waiting for your opponents to be fair, you will be waiting till you die. You have to be able to win in spite of it being unfair.
Pick a year and I will tell you which genocide or genocides this country was supporting. There are always a few. You don't get to change that unless you take power and you don't get to take power unless you win genocide supporters over to your side.
You'll act like it's a reflection of progressives' actual popularity when they fare how you prefer in a system that favors the genocidal candidates you want.
I don't want to know the contents of your spank bank.
It is. Get out of your bubble. Progressive is a dirty word to a lot of people. Get them talking about the ideas and they agree for the most part, but people hate the brand. That is where Mamdani was particularly successful. He was able to push the ideas to the forefront.
Nice job dodging the topic when you don't have an answer.
Because libs vote in lib primaries?
