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.

They can be educated about what decisions each party made, is making and is promising to make.
Then based upon that, weigh the pros and cons, and pick whatever they want to live with.
There are 2 terminal problems with that:
I have a solution to this, but you probably dont want to hear it.
You are in an anarchist community, you are allowed to voice radical opinions.
Right.
Clans.
Imagine countries, but youre free to move to whichever clan you wanna live with, because every clan has their own rules.
These days every country has more-less the same laws so there is no choice of life, really.
And the choice should be close to you, so its feasable so you can actually move there.
This can only be achieved if the clans are smaller and bigger in numbers aka more often and not too far from every person, ideally.
So a world where, lets say, anarchist, liberal and fascist "clans" coexist peacefully, freedom of movement is guaranteed and supported by all those clans and information regarding all existing clans are available freely so people can make informed decisions?
While not quite exactly, the situation you're describing isn't too far off from some of the ways people have lived historically. I 10/10 recommend reading The Dawn of Everything if you're interested. Some of that research really changed my thoughts about what is possible.
Good to know, thanks
Yes?
Why do you make it sound like its a joke instead of a idea worth contemplating?
That was not my intention, instead I tried to repeat your idea in my own words to make sure I actually understand. Also I intentionally added kinda opposing factions and the concept "freedom of movement" to my question to make the idea more clear to me and others.
Also your idea reminds a little of the "World where many worlds fit" idea that comes from (or I have first learned of when reading) zapatista texts.
Wow
I read that page, and it sounds promising, but im not sure how much exactly it is how I wanna live, yet.
Because a large part of many of these practices is the exclusion of all others. Thanks for sharing, though!
What you mean?
They do not want to coexist. The existence of an 'other' is a threat/attack to them.
Read nazi philosopher carl schmitt or fiction novel 'blindsight'.
If we could come up with an agreement of like maximum land size per person and minimum distance between the next such clan, maybe it could function?
But then again nobody would be in the fashist clan, and they would not like this idea haha
What else do you propose?
Noted elsewhere. Differences will happen. Why make them discrete or sacred?
How do we achieve anarchist land and life, with preferably 0 bloodshed or prison time?
I expect the same way you continue as is without any prison or bloodshed.
It is not.
I am already forced into slavery via work, taxes, and the entire school-school-work-work-work-die way of EXISTING, not living.
So by doing nothing I am already shoved into a live-like-this box.
Trying to get out of that box would not go well for anyone.
Trying to live outside the box would break oh so many laws, rules, from a world I and many do not want to be apart of.
IS THIS CLEAR ENOUGH? Lol
A world that thrives on slavery and incarceration, a violent fantasy nightmare floating on an ocean of exploitation and innocent blood, refreshed always faster than it evaporates. Yes.
Lovely :)
Not this world, but the fact that you do understand
