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.

Crazy, I remember saying those words exactly, "I only support failed movements" was an actual comment that I made in those words.
Okay, so what AES states do you support?
I think all of Africa could benefit from an alliance like that. I like their freedom of movement initiatives but I fail to see how these are anarchist. It just looks like nations breaking away from western powers which in itself is a good thing.
While the Sahel states are a progressive nationalist movement overthrowing imperialism, they aren't AES in the same way BanMeFromPosting means. AES in socialist discourse usually stands for "Actually Existing Socialism," usually in reference to existing states where public ownership is principle and the working class in control of the state.
~~Are you a bot? Your answer is a complete non-sequitor. Or are you so uneducated you don't even know what AES is and you assume it has something to do with Africa?~~
Edit: My bad, you thought I talked about the Alliance of Sahel States for some reason?
What actually existing socialist states or anarchist communes do you consider to be "actually good" or whatever language you'd use
The Alliance of Sahel States, AES in French.

That makes sense for the weird non-sequitor, thanks. Still a headscratcher that the mind would go there instead of Actually Existing Socialism, but it's on me
Idk why thats weird. When I hear AES thats what I think of. I've never hesrd Actually Existing Socialism before.
Yet you act like an expert on the subject
I have mentioned multiple times in this thread that I am not lol but sorry I forgot I had to know everything to talk about anything. Its not okay otherwise.
You should take that to heart then, instead of acting like you do
To paraphrase the one true leftist on this site: Oh yeah, that's totally what I said. Yep I remember when I wrote that
You said AES. I was really confused.
Zapatistas are the only ones I am aware of with any real success
Oh hey neat I called it
Are you just trying to be a dick or did you want to talk about leftism? Cause if anyone is doing purity tests around here it seems to be you
What goes around comes around. You've made it very clear you're not interested in talking, so why would I try?
You're really helping me fill out my "liberal klichés" bingo card
Lol okay bud. I'm disengaging. No idea what you're on about.
