Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.

Does this mean that if a communist party was suddenly running the government then all state employees would suddenly flip from being nazis to communists?
Some people on this site are so divorced from reality it's scary. Nuance? Never heard of her.
And I'm sure that anyone potentially replying to my comment will spew some bs like "if you work for a 'nazi' in any way, you're a nazi" and to those people I say that it is clear you have lived your entire life without having had to deal with real life dilemmas and compromises. Must be nice to feel entitled to dictate who gets to provide for their family and who have to quit or they are deemed a nazi by you. What a humble, sane and intelligent mindset to have.
Demanding people in an unstable country to quit their job is the extremist leftie version of "just stop being poor".
Some people don't have the luxury to quit, especially if they have a home and a family to feed and bills to pay, which is the case for most people.
The funny thing is it seems most commentors in this post are civilians.
I am a state employee, and I am keenly aware of my role in reinforcing the state mechanisms.
My work directly supports and maintains a small subsection of gears of this overall system.
I get paid in taxpayer money, I have the capability of living a "middle class" life.
I donate some of my earnings to charities and fundraisers for various undisclosed civil rights and activists.
I love doing the contents of my work, And I enjoy the knowledge that my work contributes to a better experience for civilians in my state.
But I am keenly aware that I am reinforcing the gears even if the work I do has little association to any detrimental effects to the people.
I am at the bottom of the ladder, following orders, providing services to improve the experience for civilians, reinforcing the gears.
I do it for the paycheck.
I am complicit in that regards.
All statements and opinions in this post are not reflective of my employer.
Lmao. Really American of you to SLAM yourself over it but not actually do anything about it.
Operational security is a must for anyone self aware.
Take is as you read it, but I cannot elaborate further.
Oh fuck you're so mysterious. If I had a dick it'd be so hard right now.
You sure helped out Yemen, Lybia, & Gaza then.
Thank you for your Zionism!🖕
It really depends what a person actually does for the state, at what level of government they operate. Especially in a country as large as the US. Many states are larger than European nations, and have larger GDPs. If you work for the state level Department of Environmental Protection in Vermont, you're not exactly contributing to the same "machine" that's killing the Republic
What if i stayed, acting like i worked but not really doing anything? Blocking a Nazis spot, taking my salary out of their budget. Maybe even sabotaging. Lets all do that, collectively. Covering eachother by telling how good a job we are doing and so on...
You're going to get executed after the trials anyways. Didn't you read OP?
The Simple Sabotage Field Manual actually has a lot of recommendations for this. Here's a part of it, just to give you an idea (in a spoiler block because it's loooooong)
Excerpt
(1) Make mistakes in quantities of material when you are copying orders. Confuse similar names. Use wrong addresses.
(2) Prolong correspondence with government bureaus.
(3) Misfile essential documents.
(4) In making carbon copies, make one too few, so that an extra copying job will have to be done.
(5) Tell important callers the boss is busy or talking on another telephone.
(6) Hold up mail until the next collection.
(7) Spread disturbing rumors that sound like inside dope.
(d) Employees
(1) Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job: use a light hammer instead of a heavy one, try to make a small wrench do when a big one is necessary, use little force where considerable force is needed, and so on.
(2) Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can: when changing the material on which you are working, as you would on a lathe or punch, take needless time to do it. If you are cutting, shaping or doing other measured work, measure dimensions twice as often as you need to. When you go to the lavatory, spend a longer time there than is necessary. Forget tools so that you will have to go back after them.
(3) Even if you understand the language, pretend not to understand instructions in a foreign tongue.
(4) Pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once. Or pretend that you are particularly anxious to do your work, and pester the foreman with unnecessary questions.
(5) Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
(6) Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker. “(7) Snarl up administration in every possible way. Fill out forms illegibly so that they will have to be done over; make mistakes or omit requested information in forms.
(8) If possible, join or help organize a group for presenting employee problems to the management. See that the procedures adopted are as inconvenient as possible for the management, involving the presence of a large number of employees at each presentation, entailing more than one meeting for each grievance, bringing up problems which are largely imaginary, and so on.
(9) Misroute materials.
(10) Mix good parts with unusable scrap and rejected parts.
