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.

If I may be indulged for a bit of a rant, Ancaps are basically flat earthers. Similar to flerfs they are not there for the stated reason. A flerf does not care about the shape of the earth. Their main motivation is a religious one and the shape of the earth is just some front end reasoning for the rest of their theology. Ancaps are not there because they care about economics or freedom; that is just there as academic cover for their bad political motivations.

Similar to a flerf they lash out when you point out a flaw in their thinking. If they did care about economics from a truth perspective that would be welcomed. In the natural sciences we have ruled out bad ideas (flat earth) or found that existing ones were incomplete (newton to general relativity). Pointing out that the NAP is not that end all be all logically or citing any historical precedent is not welcomed.

Even accepting some of their axioms as truth leads to bad outcomes. If I was in ancapistan and successful why would I risk a new comer bringing my trade fiefdom down when I can sabotage them. Or if profit is my motive, then why would I care about injust NAP violations that don't directly hurt my profit (further why not join the aggressors in a share of the spoils).

Ancaps (and Austrian Econ types) are to economics what flat earth is to physics.

It's clear you've never actually talked to one, or you'd know they prefer to be called ephebophiles.
