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.

authority

Simple. You create a culture where that shit isn't allowed. Make each person an informed educated sovereign of themselves.

Collaborate non-coercively, by any of dozens of mechanisms, and just don't be a piece of shit. If someone is a piece of shit, abd can't be helped to not, attempt to ostracize.

And don't pretend anything bad is prevented by current hierarchy. Fuck off with that shit.

What? It seems like you have a lot of anger at the current system, and I get that, but I sincerely do not understand what you're suggesting. Create a culture where authority isn't allowed? That makes no sense. How do you enforce a ban on authority without using authority?

Collaborate non-coercively, by any of dozens of mechanisms, and just don't be a piece of shit. If someone is a piece of shit, abd can't be helped to not, attempt to ostracize

"My criminal justice policy is that people shouldn't do crimes". This is parody anarchism. We don't have a lever for human species that turns off being a dick. That's what social systems are for.

I think it's interesting that you've got Agememnon as your pfp and are arguing about what is essentially a modernized cornerstone philosophy of the classical political systems

I've said elsewhere I'm not interested in your opinion or explaining mine to you. I think you're just pretending to engage because you want to have an argument ive had a thousand times so you can say your dumb bullshit i've heard a thousand times.

You have nothing to say to me, you just want to use me to justify your unjustifiable bullshit. I have nothing ro say to you. Fuck off. Bother someone else.

You're the one who responded to me, what are you talking about? How do you build a society on non-coercive cooperation when you declare anyone who engages a topic is only pretending in bad faith. If it doesn't work on the conversation level, how is it supposed to work on the societal level?
