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.

And we literally had Democratic Socialism under FDR in the 30's and 40's that fixed many of the problems of capitalism, until Reagan broke it all down in the 80s

Boomers experience was literally growing up in the solution, yet they fucked it up for everyone.

If democratic socialism had fixed the problems with capitalism, then capitalism wouldn't have won.

Better? Sure. The solution? Sadly it wasn't.

It only started breaking down when people stopped maintaining it. People grew complacent, but not the 1% they were busy, motivated and ruthless.

Nothing in human society lasts, unless you maintain it. Even capitalism.

I like the pre-internet days when everyone just blamed their dad, not all dads.

How do you think we ended up with a weekend, overtime and the right for woman to vote?

The greatest generation striked, fought and died against the capitalist billionaire oligarchs and monarchs to get it.
