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.

representatives

Only if they're dynamic an instantly recallable at any moment. Why not have people represent their own interests directly, again?

That introduces its own vectors of dysfunction and abuse. What triggers a recall? How do you cope with the inherent instability when a recall can happen at any time?

And people can't represent their own interests, most of them know nothing about the intricacies of supporting a functioning civilization. Direct democracy is a breeding ground for celebrity demagogues.

instability

And there it is, there's your real values.

people can't represent their own interests

Cool, cool. Yeah you make a good point. Tell you what, if you really want to be a slave, you can buy me a place with a basement and I'll keep you there.

direct democracy is a breeding ground for the thing we already have without direct democracy

Really trying to prove people are too dumb to live, aren't you? Can you people come up with a single problem that an anarchist solution would have that we don't have a thousand times worse right now?

Why are you being this hostile?

Sorry, you wouldn't understand.
