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.

50s Prediction: In the future, robots will do menial tasks so you can focus on arts, family and science!

Actuality: You lost you job as an artist to AI. Enjoy a lifetime of debt and poverty. Maybe you can find some menial way to sustain yourself just enough to barely live.

IDK, Player Piano was released in 1952 and called out a world where increasing automation lead to an enriched and privileged engineer class and everyone else living in poverty and internal displacement. For a debut novel, it was pretty good.

But even Player Piano gave the masses UBI.

TBF I read it in early college (for fun not as an assignment) and I'm significantly past college age.
