Flippanarchy
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.

I added that in the body :) unless you explicitly differentiated from imperialism and colonialism, if so
How I understand it, imperialism is a general term describing a nation ruling over another, controlling the politics, the economy, the military, the media, etc; through either soft power, or hard power.
Colonialism is occupying the land, and with the same outcome as above. Imperialism is a general concept, colonialism is one of the means of imperialism, since you don't always need explicit colonialism to be imperialist. I hope I got that right lol
Oh, sorry, we missed that, heh.
It's just a quote we heard the other day, we think. Maybe it was imperialism though. Either way, great addition ๐
I've also heard "fascism is colonialism coming home to roost," which honestly tracks.
This may interest you
No worries ๐ and thanks!
