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.

ID: 4 panels:

  1. A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."

  2. Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"

  3. She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"

  4. Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.

ID: A poster titled "How to turn you landlord into a tent in 4 easy steps" with 4 simple line graphics illustrating the steps:

  1. A man in a suit with his hand out asking for money

  2. The head of the man alongside two large bones, a spinal column, and a smaller bone

  3. The large bones and spinal column form the base of an A-frame tent

  4. A patchwork of the landlord's skin makes up the tarp draped over the frame, and the small bones are used as pegs to hold the whole thing down

Honey, new rule just dropped:

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 teach you.

This means that comments mischaracterizing anarchism, such as conflating it with anomie or even worse, fascism will be removed and the user banned (time depends on how bad faith or trollish they appear to be). Ain't nobody got time to teach every lib in the world under every shitpost.

Likewise, if you find the memes in this comm disagreeable from a liberal or marxist perspective, realize they're not for you. Yes, we're going to be unapologetically anti-electoralist and anti-state-capitalist. Deal with it, or block the comm. We reserve the right to get rid of people who continuously start arguments about "lesser evils" and shit.

Reply with "hurr durr rules in my anarchy?" for a permaban.

ID: a photo of a child scratching their head looking confused and maybe anxious, the text above says: "Damn... I'm kinda tired of living inside a giant pyramid scheme controlled by criminals who gaslight us into believing they are the good guys."

ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says "we can't just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)"

ID: 3 panels titled "change"

  1. Pink person is on the ground, there is a leg in brown trousers and purple shoes stomping on them. Pink says "I want things to change"

  2. Pink is still on the floor being stomped on, in the background the word "change" appears surrounded by sparkles.

  3. Pink is still on the floor. The leg stomping on them has now changed and is wearing orange trousers and a green shoe. Pink says "oh no"

Edit to add: the meme is true no matter the result, by design.
