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.

Oh no, he was a Russian puppet and he was definitely jailing his opponents. He's no saint. But minorities weren't getting massacred and women had some rights. Now there's an ~~US~~ IS guy in charge and it's going about as well as you'd expect.

Do you have any sources on this? I knew he was formerly(?) Islamic state, but it seemed like the country was becoming more stable (fascist israeli invasion aside).

Massacre of Alawites (coastal Muslim community that isn't Muslim enough for ISIL) - https://www.reuters.com/investigations/syrian-forces-massacred-1500-alawites-chain-command-led-damascus-2025-06-30/

Kurds were driven out of two provinces and had to surrender the remaining two in return for limited autonomy - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/18/syria-announces-ceasefire-agreement-with-kurd-led-sdf-after-heavy-fighting

They didn't like it, and warned Kurds in Iran not to fall for the same trap.

I think it is, but more stake is extremely relative when it comes to syria
