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.

Seeing someone "vaguelly left" unironically defending the extrajudicial murder of Rosa fucking Luxembourg was not in my bingo card.
Note that even Germany itself celebrates Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht
He doesn't even mention Rosa Luxemburg?
You need to know history to understand what's happening when someone defends the actions of the SPD at the turn of the last century.
I did read up a bit, and the spartacists tried to overthrow the provisional government, to install a council republik, instead of a social democracy, and subsequently got their asses handed to them. Luxemburg and Liebknecht were captured and subsequently murdered by the freikorps.
Sounds to me like they just fought and lost. While killing Luxemburg and Liebknecht went too far, capturing them was justified. These two should obviously have been given a fair trial.
Did I miss anything?
Four empires with vassal states in eastern europe collapsed entirely in WW1. The Freikorps were monarchist and anti-republic paramilitaries that sought to restore the German Empire. Essentially if 'just fought and lost' is valid, the monarchists and imperialists fought and lost the war, and the dismantling of their Empire was part of the peace treaties that ended the war. But since those treaties were also with empires that collapsed...
The ending and aftermath of World War 1 is the uncompromising context for the entire interwar period.
Rosa Luxemburg, in fact, voted against the Spartacist Uprising and to participate in elections instead.
But that's inconvenient, so db0 doesn't care.
