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.

It's almost as if corrupt sociopaths are drawn to positions of authority regardless of stated values, and a vanguard party is no exception. Church, State, HOA, offer a crumb of power and bastards will say anything they can to snatch it up. The value of an organizational system has very little to do with its aspirations, and everything to do with the obstacles it erects to obstruct corruption. Build a dictatorship of the proletariat, and the proletariat will be abandoned by the dictatorship.
This sums up my thoughts on human behavior quite nicely. I really want to believe "true communism" is possible but I just don't see how when power-hungry assholes exist. My thoughts are that it can only happen at small scales where you know everyone in your "tribe". It's far easier to oppress nameless strangers than it is to oppress Jenny with a heart condition a sick kid.
I'd be very interested in an honest answer about how this is handled from someone with more knowledge on communism.
Well said!
I expect some spicy takes in the comments soon...
You done gone and triggered the whole damn beehive!
100% chance of a hexbear brigade when we post something like this 😁 they literally cannot abide anarchists making fun of them in our own space.
Dear god did they deliver... The shit wagon rolled through town
I'm popping my popcorn, I'll be back later 🍿

The good old “revolutionary state capitalist” Often comes with some nice totalitarianism and atrocities sprinkled in.
Oppress, exploit, and kill the masses for the benefit of the masses!
Man hexbear is pissed and just can't help but defend their lust for authoritarians. Then ask for left unity when we won't want to be with people who uncritically support China and North Korea.
Maybe someday hexbear will learn better but today isn't that day.
They got so upset some of them resorted to ableism. Just astounding stuff.
I've seen them using ableist slurs, i try to report them when they do.
Such radical leftists they just use disabilities as insults.
And that guy who pretends that hexbear doesn't tolerate ableism while you can hear crickets from them when Yog-something is, to paraphrase him, "calling into question the functioning of someone’s brain [which] is pretty neuronormative" in every other dot ml's c/worldnews' post... Pure gold 🤣
Edit: I can't see replies from hexbear on piefed, but I'm still lurking the thread on db0.
So, Sphere laddie:
Yogthos isn’t a Hexbear, and .ml’s worldnews comm is not a Hexbear comm. Good try, though!
Since when did that prevent you folks from jumping at someone's throat? You called out that pedo mod I don't remember the name, then Nutransphobic. What prevents you from calling out Yogthos if not a lax stance on ableism?
"We take ableism very seriously, we just don't ban people who are on our instance for it." - Hexbear
A good communist is suspicious of all leaders. Because nobody fucks the working class like leaders
Well said!
Distrusting the vanguard is counterrevolutionary
Well, that was quite entertaining.
The comments are going to be normal.
Holy Jesus am I glad my new account is on an instance that defederated the tankie triad. Looking at this thread without logging in is something else.
This happens like clockwork whenever a meme makes fun of authcoms from a typical anarchist perspective. Always! You should see the 1000-comment salt mines of the very first such post I made.
It's too bad you have absolutely zero personal control over who db0 federates with!
I kind of miss them. Seeing their unhinged political opinions made me feel normalish.
ITT: red fash pissed anarchists got wise and ain't gonna do their dirty work anymore. Figure it out.
This is me playing Tropico when I'm just trying to have a stable economy.
Oh man, I’m gonna enjoy this comment thread.
Marxism-Leninism is the ideology of the factory owner.
And of course here's Hexbear posting about how they hate this place after they came here breaking the rules of our instance.

Be warned @db0 they're insulting you in there, because they're such good, moral, and just socialists. Also mocking other users in here like @masquenox for not satisfying their debate bro tactics.
And here's them admitting to lurking on the thread to Gotcha! and leap onto users.

Hexbear, the totally innocent instance!
As is tradition. I don't care though. They're well known to constantly lie and misrepresent people they hate in their own comms. So long as they don't come and shit in here.
Fair enough. If the hexbear defed is ever for a vote, I'd probably vote yes.
At this point, so probably would I. Funnily enough, they think my experience with KKE was what disillusioned me against MLs, but in truth I was never that much against them specifically instead of their ideology only. But my hexbear experiences and the absolute constant of bad faith, ableism, bullying and disinfo I see from them, made me far more wary of MLs as people.
The latest case of them not respecting requests for disengagement and goading people to be their lolcows is just the lowest they've ever fallen in my eyes.
Hexbear is a leftist colored KiwiFarms.
You all act like lemmy ML and lemmygrad are the worst, and clowns of fedi, but you tend to ignore fact, that without them, there would be empty hole in our hearts, we would be unable to fill alone.
remember to love your local ML user, they are folks too
In the delths of their souls, they are little beautifull redaf butterflies ready to show their true shape and colors, they only need a bit of warm
