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.

Sure, although a more common occurrence was bringing in soldiers or police to shoot striking workers.
Who the hell would actually want to work for a lower wage than what they currently have? Do these people exist for real?
Do these people exist for real?
Yes, or else everyone would be in a union. They are subject to the same socio-economic pressures but either draw the wrong conclusion (capitalism is good) or just don't give a shit and will take low wage over no wage.
That's not what happens here. The current workers demand a higher wage and unemployed people take the job for the current wage. This is basically why unemployment exists: you can't threaten to fire people if there is no "reserve army".
That's why strikes are most powerful when there is solidarity across the working class. The Haymarket Affairs, that led to the 8h day and is celebrated at the First of May everywhere except in the US where it happened as international worker's day. There was solidarity across employed and unemployed, black and white workers so there was no other way than to listen to the demands. The bourgeoisie tries to devide us with arbitrary lines. Don't let that happen. Show solidarity with all oppressed groups and try to understand their oppression.
Then the ancoms all hang the bougie fuck from a tree
We can dream ...
And this is why the armed workers councils were formed.
Imagine being proud to be a scab. Fucking idiots.
I love the implication that ancaps have thinning hair lol
What underlies this is the switch from class-based solidarity to nation-based solidarity.
