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.

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 single thing alone will fix the world. Voting alone won't fix it. Throwing a molotov alone won't fix it.
Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort. Go do it. But don't call it a day and think you've done everything you can do. Refusing to vote just yields one of the many fronts in this conflict without a fight.
Throwing a molotov alone won't fix it.
But the right firebomb, at the right target, at the right time, might just change the world.
Yup ww1 started over a single gunshot
Please keep in mind that "change the world" does not necessarily mean "for the better", and I have no doubt these cretins are looking for their Reichstag.
True, true. Saint Luigi inspired people. But that alone didn't fix the world, and it's a very chaotic move.
There are so many murdering copy cats through history, who just wants to ride the coattails of some other psychos fame.
Where are the Luigi copycats hiding? He got more love than any murderer through history, where are all the psychos who want to feel that?
Voting (in many places, for many people) takes almost no effort
The voting apparatus takes immense effort in fact. It takes so much effort that it's almost all consuming for most nations during the election period and wastes thousands of human-workhours.
I meant the amount of effort it takes for the end user.
If we're going to talk about higher order levels of effort, then everything gets very expensive very quickly.
the end user
lol. lmao.
Apathy is what got us here
Avarice and individualism got here.
To the point many still consider both to be strengths and not the weaknesses they are.
Not now you're not.
And the courts won't help you.
The courts can't help you, even if they wanted (they don't)
Can't they still slam Trump? /s
They're gonna drag him
Everyone agitating for an overthrow of the system through memes is going to get out there and start doing it any day now just you wait...
Aaaaaaaany day now...
True. What works best is being a smug "nothing ever happens" lib online and doing one political action every 4 years.
I mean, that's what this amounts to. So yeah, I agree.
Edit: sorry, that's to say I agree with sarcasm dripping from your reply.
You think the 90M people that couldn’t be bothered to vote against fascism are going to take to the streets and fight?
It doesn't take 90M people to blow up a pipeline.
Electoral voting is useless and built to disenfranchise and demotivate people participating from politics. Doing direct action immediately improves your life and builds mutual aid networks. So yes.
It’s useless, yet it’s exactly why we have a fascist dictator? That’s tautological.
You would get a fascist dictator regardless. That has always been the inevitable path of liberal electoral politics under capitalism.
