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.

It's the funding. Toothpaste costs money. It's too risky to keep stealing large quantities of toothpaste, but you have to live off the grid for years to do what they do in the movies. You can't even expect to go back to a normal life after you accomplished your task. Could be they brand you a terrorist and you have to live in hiding forever. There are IRL examples for this.

Also keeping in mind that you can't guarantee that what comes after the revolution will be any better. For instance, how many revolutions did the French have until they got to where they are now? How many of those revolutions left the country worse off until the next one?

There's the saying "things will get worse before they get better"... that "worse" could be generations long.
