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.

Hunger strikes for womens rights
AIDS die-ins
Occupying government official's offices
Creating semi-public spaces for them to gather, strategize, and comfort one another
Creating zines and their own publishing houses
Meetings, meetings, meetings where people would share their stories, understand the systemic nature of their oppression, and find ways to resist
Developing alliances with other oppressed groups
Infiltrating powerful social institutions and intimidating powerful members (removing homosexuality in the DSM)
Creating allies with sympathetic members of said institutions
Shifting cultural consensus through public displays of defiance (bra burnings and coming out)
Politics is the final stage of toil after years of people working in the dark only to emerge and piss of most but win over some. Change doesn't start with lobbying politicians or crafting laws, but standing up and saying together, "We exist and we matter". If your movement's first move is the political, you don't understand how politics works. Turbulent flows shift mountains.
