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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
As expected, tankies came out in drove to whitewash Uyghur genocide π
There are far too many complaints and eyewitness to hide the grievances from the Uyghurs and CCP's mistreatment of them.
Ah tankies
There is significant politicization of genocide declarations. They are all declared by fascist US empire and its slave controlled democracy colonies. There is very obvious extensive video evidence of extermination policies for Palestinians.
China responded to 2014 terrorist attacks with education and job creation programs. Xinxiang has had decent prosperity and population growth compared to other Chinese provinces despite a BDS policy from US controlled empire. The "technical genocide" accusation is based on a handful of Uyghur women with 4+ children who somehow all got to the UK, and claimed to now be sterile. Uyghurs had historically been exempt from Chinese one child policy.
Political demonism happens independently of facts. There are historical tensions in Xinxiang between Uyghur/muslim majority and relatively more prosperous Han minority, but Chinese policies are far more egalitarian than Alabama policies with much higher inequality. China has made the most humanist response to terrorism in history of civilization, even if it is not above criticism.
Being anarchist is just stupid period
Anarchists are just libertarians without money.
My Tribe is made up of people who refuse to have a Tribe.
this is true and you should say it. I'm sorry about the people who will be assholes about it.
This instance has made me realize that I am an anarchist. What a strange world⦠No regrets, thank you guys.
Same here I beliving in Anarchy more as a fight to concentration of power which concecuences are in full display in any news outlet. I'm also starting to feel kinda inclined to solarpunk.
I just don't think we're meant to live in large numbers tbh.
You take the average opinion of 200 million people, apply it to everyone, and nobody will be happy with it.
the fediverse is inherently propaganda for the possibility of anarchism
Isn't one of the main lemmy devs a staunch communist?
Right-out tankie. But then broken clocks are right twice a day.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean is the difect intention or that it has to be enforced we can find our own meaning.
Hell yeah welcome to the struggle.
Just remember you donβt need to agree with every mainstream anarchist take to call yourself an anarchist. Thatβs the best part and one of many things that set this movement a cut above other leftist movements.
We are happy to have you! π₯° There is an anarchist book i highly recommend. You can read all of it or just pick sections you find interesting.
People ask "how can anarchism work? Don't we need a boss?" Or "How would things be managed?". And this book explains it very well :)

Me posting this meme with the full knowledge that it might make it to βAllβ and generate a shitshow of a comment section
This community is just popular enough to make it to /all, but not popular enough to drown out all the liberals/tankies that come here.
^I^ ^phrased^ ^this^ ^horribly^ ^sorry^
Turn off your notifications mate. And don't return to the scene of the crime
Don't even have to be an anarchist, just have to have at least partial hearing and/or vision.
Not even. Iβm deaf and have terrible vision. In fact I was functionally blind for 8 months. And I can still see it!
Tankies: handing out "genocide denial" bans for calling Ukraine a genocide.
You can simultaneously condemn the invasion of Ukraine and understand that false claims of genocide are harmful against people suffering genocide
Your comment being a good example of tankies denying Ukrainian genocide.
Putin kills Ukrainian civilians, not because of their religion or genetics or culture but to terrorise them into submission so that they encourage their military to give up so that he gets to plunder their land and resources.
This is very different to the universally accepted definition of genocide as applies to The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia.
Ireland is trying to get the ICJ to broaden the UN definition of genocide to include both the Ukraine and Gaza tragedies.
Idiots have decided the new definition of genocide is simply "when one side kills a bunch of people on the other side" and get angry when you point out how infantile that is.
Interview indeed. The popularity of Marvel/DC movies is symptomatic.
It is the age of hyperbole and polarization. As if something is not a tragedy worthy of attention unless you can paint it as the worst thing ever.
And the solutions imagined are total fantasy. Jews aint leaving the Levant, neither are the Arabs.
I watched a documentary which blew my mind recently, leaving no party looking clean in the Middle East conflict. Neither ProPal nor Zionist philosophy comes into it. The reality is too messy for the partisan minds: HyperNormalization: A Different Experience of Reality.
Being in my 60's it has been years since I saw something so challenging. Since this is an anarchist community this should appeal although it is not hopeful. More like an examination of organised Chaos.
nice but i think the liberals forgot about the uyghur genocideβ¦.
The imperial core didnβt forget so much as it gave up trying to manufacture consent after the UN rejected its allegations.
