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.

i mean... yes?
What about working for the no death ?
we all are working for it but clearly aren't there yet, to draw a parallel, we don't have a cure for cancer YET but you can bet your ass i'm gonna do chemo if i end up with it
To reuse the analogy, I'm not saying that everyone becoming immortal will happen in a finger snap, I'm saying that "just dying from cancer Vs. chemo for a few wealthy" is a bullshit choice. The first wee basic step we should strive for is to make the treatment available to all those suffering from cancer.
right. so the slow death. the one you were previously criticizing.
In politics, the first wee basic step we should strive for is not a complete revolution without the support of the masses, but to put in power someone who, if not better, doesn't ruin more the already tragic and delicate system we have, to give us time to organize better.
And uhh yeah we kinda failed at that
Good thing clinton and harris had all that support of the masses, love how they managed to get all that support from the masses. Im glad me not voting for them didn't matter, because 'the masses' supported them so much!
words have meaning. there is a cure for political illiteracy
no, it's not
I actually voted for delacruz, and maybe if you fucking liberals had fallen in line and stuck with your natural electoral allies when your literally senile candidate shit himself and asked where he was during a debate, we wouldnt have fascism right now.
But, no, you people couldnt fucking compromise. A vote for the divisive harris was a vote for trump, you knew it, you knew she couldnt win, but you refused to stand with your allies. So here the fuck we are.
Start making your community independent of the government, report to your local central committee, or shut the hell up and think about what youve done.
for all you people that can't do math, all the votes not for trump added together would have been 50,2%
but she didn't get those, and there is no reason to think she could have
Liberals are like dogs. They don't understand words; only tone matters. And tone matters a lot! Don't get angry at them for not understanding things they're incapable of understanding, and don't just shout words at them.
Be more considerate to our adorable lib friends. They're not bad, they're just poorly trained.
I'm TALKING. Dont interrupt me.
Said it already, the slow death is accepting that the treatment should go to those who can afford it. That's the unacceptable compromise for leftists...
Offer arrives from global council of oligarchs tomorrow:
Kill all landlords, landback by the end of the month, cops are allowed only two pieces of kit¹, but we keep gig apps cops and for-profit healthcare for at least another decade. No struggle no tear gas no death.
I'd take that deal.
¹pants bullets radio and a car each count for one.
and how does that relate to politics, especially seeing as you are actively sabotaging the party that wants medicare/medicaid
The party doesn't want medicare4all, hence why they didnt pass it when they had the power to, or use some of the executive's powers to get as much non-means tested heathcare to the people as possible.
since you all seem to get your one-liner responses from the same text file, i'm gonna follow your example and repost another comment from this post
You only need a simple majority to remove the filibuster. We elected them to use their power, not to let their hands be tied by rules that never seem to stop them or the republicans from doing bad things.
what's that to do with medicare?
Dems could have simply gotten rid of the filibuster and passed free healthcare with 50 votes, and shown an entire generation of voters that politics is a viable means of achieving positive social change. But they genuinely do not want this because the donor class does not want this, so they let the rules stop them.
For the dems, a generation of energized, politically active 20-30 year olds is a problem to overcome.
