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

  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.

When I was an anarchist during the Bush years I remember telling an exceptionally crunchy gutterpunk they could use a shower. They accused me of being a Nazi telling them I wanted them to go to the gas chambers. They were then in a grant writing class I took the following summer.

I see this kind of dynamic playing out quite often in online debates about leftism.

Fuck leftist unity, if leftist unity means sacrificing the revolution for some some tyrant to twist class consciousness into a "dictatorship of the proletariat" im not playing along.

DEATH TO REACTION, DEATH TO DECEIT, DEATH TO TYRANNY

Left unity is a lie to use anarchist labor into making their own graves when the state-based socialists get into power.

This meme is from a movie based on the Kangoroo Chronicles books. Atleast the original german versions are quite funny

The People's Front of Judea vs the Fucking Judean People's Front

Anarchists have different goals than communists and use different means/strategies to achieve those goals while using different modes of organization. Just hating capitalism is not enough of a basis to just gloss over those things.

Apart from certain instances when the goals align like antifascist action, international solidarity or support of prisoners, why would working together / doing unity actually be beneficial to achieving anarchist goals?

I was reading George Orwell’s hommage to Catalonia the other day and was just shocked by how brutal this was.

For context Orwell served in the POUM (anti-authoritarian marxists) in the spanish civil war against the facist-conservative-feudalist camp. However over time the liberal bourgeoisie and the Stalinist side of the republic (anti-facist forces), allied themselves together and started brutally repressing the Anarchist and Anti-Stalinist Marxist Factions. They basically handed the victory over to the facists by purging the left.

The testimony of Paul Robeson before the HUAC, after he was snitched on by George Orwell.

I wish it was this but instead its constant infighting. Btw im a socdem(socialist if tou stretch the definition), tear me apart lol

[–] within_epsilon@beehaw.org 10 points 12 hours ago

I was a socdem once. My elders told me I would move right when I paid taxes. Now, I'm "friends" with a kangaroo until the revolution or something. From what I understand, the kangaroo believes in a classful, stateful communism.

Sure, this guy thinks socdems are socialists, everyone point and laugh!

(It's not your fault that all the other liberals bully and gaslight you, we accept you as the only good kind of liberal ❤️)

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

Oh no i meant that as im a socdem but if we had that system properly in place and it didnt work i would support trying socialism. Theres extremely little data about any proper socdem, socialist, communist government in the world that actually functioned(mainly because of the us and ussr).
