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.

Capitalism is welcome to stay the moment it stops treating every single thing on this planet like a controllable, abusable and infinite ressource. Unfortunately, controlling, abusing and extracting everything is the sole purpose of capitalism.

Unfortunately, controlling, abusing and extracting everything is the sole purpose of capitalism.
Marx recognized it as a socio-economic improvement over feudal aristocracy, as capitalists generally recognize the value of social investment for private accumulation. Historically, aristocrats chronically under-invested in anything except a military for more real estate accumulation.
But capitalism accumulates only to the individual, which renders it a long term hazard to social progress. If your only concern is personal wealth accumulation within a single human lifespan, the machinery of economic progress devolves into an engine of speculative and fictitious investment.
You need a social movement with leadership capable of planning intergenerationally to own and operate the machinery of capital. That is what the Soviets struggled to create. And it is what modern socialist institutions ultimately pioneered. The surviving post-Cold War socialist states are these ideological seeds that are prepared to leapfrog the dinosaur of state-capitalism.
Problem is we have to invest in the people and see their wellbeing as a moral good, not view them as labor to be exploited.
If humans aren't here to provide for a ruling class, destroy the planet and reproduce to replenish the machine then what are they here for?
Of course. Capitalism favors exploitation of the planet, since it's short term gain and the long term harm is hard to pin on the exploiter.
Hell, most damage to humanity will be countered with tax payer money (as long as that's still possible).
So: exploitation of the planet? Great business model - especially for old people who won't life till the worst consequences.
Most companies don't look further than the next financial quarter anyway.
I've been telling people that capitalism looks fine on paper, but in reality it just doesn't work. They hate that.
capitalism looks fine on paper
lol no.
You're right obviously, it's pretty much trash all the way around. I've just been hearing that about socialism my whole life so it's fun to flip the script
Does if you think you'd be the one on top
Hey now theyβre getting it
They always have.
That's why they are fascist.
That's part of why they act the way they do, they're trying to seem tough but deep down they're scared shitless.
Yeah, imagine being so scared of like sustainability and equality. Fucking fash.
"To the privileged equality looks like oppression"
And Prager was privileged AF.
Yep because its a necessary part.
