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.

I believe everyone deserves free healthcare, I believe everyone deserves housing, I believe we have a duty to provide high quality education for everyone in our society, I believe Climate Change is an existential threat to humanity.

BuT WhO Is gOiNg tO PaY FoR It?!

That's the perpetual conservative rejoinder and the thing that makes "everyone deserves" ring the Far-Left Anti-America Killed-100 Billion People alarm bells. As soon as you talk about reorganizing the legal private ownership of property to optimize quality of life for the public, the people with the majority of property (and those who control the manufacturers of credit and the administrators in charge of distributing large labor contracts) show their reactionary tendencies.

I believe fundamentally that all authority that we have not explicitly consented to is illegitimate

I mean, that's fine as a belief. The more pressing concern is your action. As soon as you explicitly resist the orders of the regional authority, you're faced with the organized violence of the professional police. And then what?

You are, of course, more than welcome to shout your feelings into the void of the Empty Internet or argue with digital agents designed to give you textbook rebuttals or encourage non-confrontational expressions of dissent. But you are strictly prohibited from directly challenging any actual administrative power, because that's Against The Rules. And violating the rules is Violence. And any act of violence you perpetrate justifies an escalated tier of violence against you, until you relent.
