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.

Quite a few enlightenment thinkers were inspired by contact with indigineous peoples in the Americas where certain democratic frameworks existed.

Several different parts of the world had various democratic frameworks throughout history including in South and West Asia, Africa, and certain indigenous groups in the Americas.

The Eurocentric narrative persists though, but perhaps for not much longer.

This quote in OPs image is by the late anthropologist who cowrote the Dawn of Everything which explores global civilizational history further.

This book is so goated I recommend it to anyone especially if you haven't cared for anthropology so far.
