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

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 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.

They’re not the only anti-statists in the world.
Anarchists want the destruction of the state, for the benefit of peoples wellbeing.
SovCits want the freedom to do whatever they want and don’t care about society.
The obsession with personal contracts is more properly ancap shit, considering actual socialists are very aware of the idea of social contracts
actual socialists
rThis is an anarchist comm. While many anarchists consider themselves socialists: I don't think it's a good look to come into an anarchist comm and talk about how "actual socialists" don't do that. Could be seen as violating a rule here, even.
Individualist anarchists reject the social contract outright. But those are relatively rare.
There is a critique that contracts should be entered consentually. And collectivist anarchists generally are in favour of freedom of association. But you could argue that this is merely a semantic argument about social contract theory.
those are relatively rare
And usually into stirner, which is problematic as fuck and frequently hard to take seriously but several orders of magnitude less fucking stupid than sovcits.
Oh violating the anarchist community rules huh
Some kind of mutually agreed upon means of a community organizing itself perhaps, where even if an individual didn't decide them personally engaging within it binds them to a code of behavior?
Dumbass lol.
Like I said, all real socialists understand social contracts.

You're confusing anomy with anarchy.

That sentence is in reference to what, exactly? That sentence is unnecessarily hard to parse.
Dumbass lol.
First of all: rude and uncalled for. Second: That's rich from someone who thinks pointing out that an anarchist community has rules is a gotcha. 🙄
Like I said, all real socialists understand social contracts.
Good for them. Got anything to add that's not a non-sequitur?
I think what they're going for in the current context of the meme is something like:
"I didn't contract with this comm, therefore the mods can't tell me what to do."
But then they shouldn't interact with it. By commenting, they agree to the rules.
Now you get it, liberals.
Well, that's not fair, liberals understand social contracts too, it's just ancaps and the people with their brand of brain rot that pretend not to.
Sovcits are people who are angry about the government being shit, but can't imagine that it doesn't need to be a thing. Also they think laws are magic spells.
Its like a petty attachment to the privileges and entitlement of a fucked up system while recognizing that its overall bad for you.
Sorry if that's the only resistance to authority you've ever encountered.
It's not the only resistance to authority I've ever encountered, but it sure is the dumbest.
Yeah. Everyone knows there is not any kind of contract people sign. States exert control by their nature of controlling certain areas within borders, and you being born there or immigrating there subjects you to its control. This does sound very similar to sovcit rhetoric given their whole focus on contracts and legal agreements you've somehow unknowingly made with the state but still exist out there somewhere. (though I get that's probably not the actual OP's intent with this ofc)
Whether the existence of the state(s) to exist as a structure of power is a good thing is another question, though.
Sovcits treat the law like it's some arcane art. Anarchists usually employ power analysis to uderstand where laws come from.
But social contract theory is employed by statists to justify the state. So ridiculing it is fair game without being called a sovcit.
The point is very true. We never gave the state the right to control us, it's something they seized for themselves.
“That’s what governments are for…. get in a man’s way.”
Contracts are something that's enforced by the gorvnment.
Ancap arguments always fall apart pretty quick when you start taking about property contracts and their enforcement.
That's not an ancap meme, tho.
What's the dog doing?
his best.
JE NE CONTRACTE PAS !
