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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Remember who slaughtered many thousands of civilians at the Paris Commune.

I didn't know, so I had to look. That's a bit of a rabbit hole, but it looks like the answer is Patrice de MacMahon, or maybe Adolphe Theirs.

If you're talking more in abstractly in the sense of political ideology, it's kinda tough to say. The government was less than a year old, fresh out of the imperial monarchy of Napoleon III, recovering from their losses to Prussia.

MacMahon was Napoleon III's Marshal, it's not a stretch to imagine he may have harbored imperialist sentiments.

Thiers was certainly more liberal, which only goes to reinforce my point that liberals aren't inherently bad at revolutions. He was in the middle of his own revolution (again) and dissolved the Commune's revolution in a month's time.

You'd be right to take issue with the Bloody Week for other reasons, but you can't say it supports the idea that liberals can't do revolutions.
