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.

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.

Electoralism is an important tool and youre a fool to dismiss it so callously. While the feds may be a failure long term it is still useful to vote if only to deny the worst aspects of this failing system, it is also imperative that the local and state governments are if not friendly then at least non-hostile to the various factions of the left.
As loathesome as the Bolsheviks were one of the reasons for their success was the capture and befriendment of various local officials. It allowed them to move freely and openly where the Tzarists were slowed or even stopped by locals. Same principle the capture of city councils and ideally the states would allow the raising of militia not bound to the feds.
The walls may be falling, the roof leaking, and the ground floor covered in sewage but the foundations are made of granite and concrete which will outlast the rest of the house. You'd be a fool to try to build in the swamp next door when a perfectly fine foundation sits ripe for the taking.
And I can stop reading your authoritarian praxis.

Oh no the college is right fucked. But everything else as I said state and local? Better to use it to strengthen our own power, but that just may be the Norman in me talking. How I wish to harrow the Mormons.
I didn't stutter.
