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.

Your argument can't see past your own hand. By endorsing a party continually getting worse every cycle, the party is guaranteeing the republicans would win, making fighting for democrats a waste of time and energy, they refuse to do what is needed to win, and stop the fascist political machine.
We knew they couldn't win as their only selling point being better than the other guy, while getting worse every cycle. Not just on foreign policy, on selling us out to the plutocracy, not changing anything back, that they see themselves as good cop to R bad cop is inescapable, apparently thinking election theft projections are all performative. In denial that Republicans aren't playing bad cop, but Hitler.
On foreign policy specifically, Biden kicked off that round by endorsing veritable blood libel, claiming to have seen the evidence of 40 beheaded babies by Hamas, a patently false allegation, and never corrected himself. All for a country working to sabotage him, with blackmail on half of our politicians and businessman.
There is, and never was, any way out from the abyss of fascism, with these democrats running the opposition. The only path is getting new leadership.
The only thing that has gotten worse every cycle is livelihood in the USA because the DNC have been left out of power for over 13 years.
The DNC keep moving left but the campaigns against them by foreign powers and billionaires gets stronger every day.
What? The DNC, moving left? What are you, [insert phrase denoting delusional/dishonest]? The DNC, DCCC, and the rest, are owned by and run for the oligarchy, they are The Enemy. They single handedly doomed us, we knew what the Republcans were, and trusted them to be the opposition to it. I fucking told you too. Admit it, so we can get real leaders with popular reform and not fail in our last fucking chance to take it back in the succession, before elections are fixed too tight to ever take it back.
The DNC last election proposed an unrealized gains tax that had conservatives howling about the destruction of "the economy". Biden's admin protected trans soldiers and gay marriage, had the most LGBT+ Cabinet in US History. He pardoned and commuted over 2500+ marijuana convictions.
The DNC now makes the DNC in 2008 look like Republicans.
No one outside the flock believes they are doing an acceptable job. We are being gouged from every angle, paying more for less, corporations continue to consolidate and use unfair practices against us and anticompetitive behavior and engage in illegal trusts. Regulators, and courts, including the justice department and state courts, are captured by industry. (Collectively captured in a complicated tiered leasing system.)
We are losing rights, the police state grows more powerful, doing end runs around the 4th in mass buying data broker information they don't protect us from being abused by; the 5th is still ignored as a rule in asset forfeitures, the 10th in every other thing the federal government does.
Money doesn't go as far. We are told our money has never had more purchasing power, while that's clearly not true, and a job has never in living memory bought less than it does now.
We all know it. The democrats run as the status quo, 3 elections in a row, in a time of anger and upheaval, and visible rot showing through to the surface of the body politic. The republicans have been able to run as reform as a result. Either democrats channel the anger of voters being screwed, or republicans will misdirect it. We should all know that all three elections running. But your ivy league suits tell you we didn't sell out enough, and look how progressive the democrats are on x or y, ignoring amongst other things rich people stealing our lunch, at most subsidizing us buying a second lunch if we qualify and genuflect to the means test, never addressing the people stealing our lunches.
keep repeating that lie. They had 50 and CHOSE not to wield the majority we gave them.
48 or less for 13 years
You lie like the republican you are.
