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.

Power corrupts, but we can't just make power disappear... The only logical solution is to spread it as thinly as possible amongst everyone, so it corrupts as little as possible. Ergo, anarchy.
What if instead we totally alienated a bunch of the worst people to ever exist from any consequence, built society on appeasing them at any cost, and then murdered everyone who wanted anything else,though?
I personally think thats a much better idea, and will murder you if you dont agree.
"Human History, a Summary"
No. Read graeber.
Lol usually I'm the one telling others to read Graeber.
Here's the thing, that kinda is part of human history. It is how we ended up in the society we live in today. All of these countries exist because they killed or subjugated everyone else who said otherwise.
Yes, Graeber exposes that other societies have existed and can potentially exist but that doesn't negate the history that led us to today.
Part of it. So is the steam engine.
All hietory led us to today. The most recent proximal cause is not totality.
No one is saying totality. Do you not get that "a summary" means "condensed and excluding details"?
A summary of human history:
Dude pull the stick out of your ass.
Not until it runs out of batteries.
Yeah, but humans like efficiency and delegation, so eventually that power coagulates
Isn't it Athens version of Denocracy rather? Everyone gets a vote and all that?
Green on the topic of anarchy I shall add xD
