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.

In fairness, the party opposes primary challengers from the left (and only the left. They didn't protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman like they protected Henry Cuellar) much harder than they have ever opposed fascism.
True, but that doesn't mean we should roll over because there is opposition. We should keep trying to primary. And we should build out as much of an independent party as we can.
It is our movement. We are the ones building it. And we should have done more of this decades ago.
It also doesn't mean there's been a lack of trying.
Sure, but our modern fellow lefties do discourage trying.
For example in this thread @AntiBullyRanger@ani.social was asking why we no longer have a black panther party all while telling me all the reasons why they are not interested in showing up to vote.
Engaging in elections is still one way we can engage in the public space and start to make some changes in a favorable direction. We can't keep wondering why electoralism is not in our favor if we are also not even trying.
Like i said in the other side of the thread; if you can get your supporters to show up and vote you have credibility to mobilize for other things.
Since your Nazi instance banned me in that community, look at what fascists are doing this election too.
And your take is to just step out of their way? Strange resistance, but lmk how that works out for your company captain.
You could be demolishing fash companies too, but I am sure a lobbyist like you knows more on how to be effective in fascist states.
We should be doing lots of things and can do more than one thing at a time.
This implys you don't look to be effective in your actions.
Because your government keeps killing us?
And your actions are to disengage?
Like I have said. I agree with you on taking down the camps that are being used to hold immigrants, but I am doubtful that people with your mindset are even going to show up. If you cannot be bothered to organize and fill out a paper every so often its not credible that you will be putting much in a more direct form of resistance. I really just don't see how you will have more courage in a battle of blair mountain type scenario if you are this afraid of filling out a paper.
Elections are still one front in the class war and it is foolish of us to ignore it.
I have elaborated about as much as I care to for a social media post. Now I am assuming you are interested in seeing real change. If I am right it would be in your interest to have a real dialog with your allies about a course of action (I will note that you have neglected to provide one). Until then I don't think lefties like you are serious about things.
So now you're just going to lie about me?
You're aware @Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world upvoted&read our entire conversation the other day, right?
Ensign_Crab knows your entire government keeps massacring us, without giving us the opportunities to play in first past the post politics.
But sincing lying will be your praxis moving forward, I will definitely make an appointment to your voting district now.
