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.

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.
