Mutual Aid bring the goods. It's the cheat code for the revolution. It's why the system is so hell-bent on alienating us from each other and redirecting our goodwill towards shit like hierarchical charities and electoralism.

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.

i dunno, i think we need to bring back Dragonslayers.
Be the change you want to see in the world 🫶
Absolutely do what you can to make your communities better. Fairly unobjectionable advice to anyone who isn't a monster. But if we're talking revolution - those who must be persuaded to grasp an extended hand often do so only when they understand that ignoring it may lead that open hand to closing into a fist.
Not everyone needs to agree. There will always be assholes who opt out of society. There's enough to go around, even if they're a pain. The occasional hoarder is less detrimental to keep around than a punitive enforcement mechanism.
Prefiguration is the way to go
Love is the way.
Still not a revolution tho.
Doesnt need to be love. You can disdain or even low key hate people, and still collaborate, still recognize you're stronger together, still make a society, still fight capitalism.
How? We tried this and ended up basically ghosting them for how we were treated.
We like people in general but some people have terrible people skills and it makes us completely uninterested in helping them.
Not always. Fuck, there are people I adore that I can't fucking work closely with. Just that love is not necessary, and in some cases negative emotions do not inhibit cooperation.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!
Come together as a community and toilet paper the local GOP office
Boycotts work, just look at target. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just be mindful of what you're buying and who is profiting. It's better to pay cash because then you're hurting the credit card company and payment processing company and the retailer can't really sell your info that way. Shop local and buy second hand, go to the library. Block ads, use a VPN, cancel subscriptions, make yourself an economic ghost.
You'll fuck up your credit, but that just means you've pissed off capital, that you're making the right enemies.
