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.

It's critically important that you chose a political ideology based on memes, do nothing afk to realise it, and argue viciously with disaffected weirdos on a squabbling hellsite.
You have till the end of the month sweety.
Engels: "Am I a joke to you?"
Where do you think Engels would place them on his "stages of barbarism"? The "lower stage of barbarism" he gave to the Iroquois Confederacy and I would be interested in the assessment of the working family of cavelivers.
Proudhon: "Yes"
The naturalist fallacy is annoying, fr. It’s tempting to point out that oft claimed “traditional” authoritarian systems are relatively recent inventions and not how humans have lived for most of our existence… but that doesn’t mean that how people did used to live is some ideal to live up to. Shity coercive and extractive systems aren’t shitty due to being unnatural, they’re shitty because they’re coercive and extractive.
Like, we can decide what our priorities are and craft our society in a way that best achieves that. I don’t really want to live on a diet of foraged roots and nuts, and I don’t want 95% of people alive today to die to make that sustainable.
I haven't read many people seriously putting forward retVrn to monkeh but knowing what has come before is useful for understanding what might come after.
In both the sense of what undesirable social arrangements are likely to arise and how they have been avoided, and which that are desirable have been realised and may be easier than some other desirable ones for which there is no evidence of.
i dunno. “dat man with 𓐬 stab people, stabbing bad.” seems easy enough.
