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.

You can’t just plop down community management without the culture to make it work. These tools are missing from most communities and would lead to as many negative results if not more.

Well of course. Nothing will work right away if people aren't educated and empowered. But the tools are missing precisely because we have given them to the state. Thus to see this change, they must be returned to the community who can relearn to practice them.

We also have examples of community management going right, such as in Rojava or Chiaps where the people are the ones patrolling their streets, deciding on how to right wrongs collectively, and generally showing much better results than we have in the West.

Herein lies the problem, without community management taking over naturally it would be thrust artificially onto communities. You can't reasonably expect these skills to be learned naturally, this would require external education which would then require a lot of social capital to be successful.

Who is going to dismantle the state and remember that it has to be a slow gradual learning process for communities?

Also community management almost has to take place in a vacuum because when it bumps up against a state it quickly dissolves losing it power such as what happened in Rojava in the start of 2026 leading it to being incorporated into the Syrian state.
