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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
Sorry if it sucks but I'm seeing red and I just had to say something before I blew a fucking gasket ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Never trust the court jesters of capitalism. If a "radical" political theorist makes it to fame and fortune it is because they have been allowed to do so.
Even before this Epstein shit, I knew he had severe liberal tendencies (yes even from an anarchist position) and yeah honestly he became a court jester for capitalism, but at least he has some good takes in his past. Like at a bare minimum he had Manufacturing Consent.
Unironically if you have an alternative recommendation for Manufacturing Consent that doesn't have his prints on it, I'd love to see it because I'm so tired having to cite this fucking clown ๐ฎโ๐จ
I know Parenti's not a fan of us anarchists but I'll take it, I'm so sick of Chomsky ๐ฎโ๐จ
good theory is good theory, comrade 
Don't trade one goofball for another.
Yeah, they don't get to be a tenured professor at a major university without jumping through the hoops of capital.
context? i don't recognize either of these people.
Left: Steve Bannon. Republican strategist, Trump ally, active fascist piece of shit.
Right: Noam Chomsky. Linguist, activist, self-descibed anarchist. If you asked him, he would say he's one of us. Many of us here probably read Chomsky. Frankly, most people on the left, even non-anarchists, routinely use the logic in Manufacturing Consent to analyze how capitalist media manufactures consent from the working class for their various atrocities.
I've had my critiques of Chomsky for a long time, but his apparently deep connections with Epstein (not just this picture) and willingness to talk politely to fascists are absolutely beyond the pale.
I took the photo straight from the pictures released yesterday by the House Oversight Democrats, which itself came from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.

Looks like Noam Chomsky embracing Steve Bannon
I don't consider it possible for any anarchists to be heroes. They are just people who say message. This is the reason I like V. They even say who I am isn't important, just a person in a mask, not to hide their identity but to erase it.
This is the same reason I still like listening to anti-flag. The message behind the songs remains the same no matter how horrible the person singing them is, although I anyone wants to make a cover version I would probably like that more.
With media you could go even further and put a sarcastic twist on a message and make it mean the complete opposite of what the artist intended.
All humans are flawed, those that seek fame more than most.
Flawed people can have good and bad ideas and do good and bad things. Trying to sort reality into goodies and baddies is folly.
This is out of context; Chomsky has Steve locked with his right arm and about to deliver a throat strike with the side of his left hand
Manufacturing A Beating
Since he supported Robert faurisson he was bad.... Before 1980 ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Honestly, I find this pairing hilarious. Both extremes are sanctimonious about their position. Both extremes are where creeps go to manipulate people.
