Seize the Memes of Production

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Terrible font choice...

Isn't a radical feminist just a feminist that wants to solve the problem at its root (radix), p.e. patriarchy? As opposed to "fixing" individual problems in order to retain the overall system?

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

unfortunately if enough problematic people use that term to describe themselves we have to pivot to a new term despite the fact that the literal meaning of the old term fits us quite well.

I like queer anarcho-feminist myself, it seems to get the point across

yeahh, that’s unfortunately true, I personally prefer Anarcha-Feminism too tbh

thanks for the explanation, I wasn't aware or that!

I personally don't identify strongly with anarchy (mostly due to lack of knowledge), and I'm not queer, so I guess I'll keep being a radical feminist with the addendum that it's not the exclusionary kind 🙃

mostly due to lack of knowledge

there's not that much to know, honestly 😅

Obviously there's always theory you could read if you want to, but the core idea is actually pretty simple:

All people are fundamentally equal. The systems that create inequality - especially hierarchies like class, race, gender roles, colonialism, imperialism, etc - they all deserve to be abolished and be replaced by egalitarian modes of living. These systems were created using violence and are maintained using violence, and so we can't make a few superficial tweaks and call them good. We need new systems that were created to be equal from the outset.

To this end we create ways to support one another that don't rely on the existing hierarchical systems, speak out against inequality, support and defend those most affected by the violence inherent in the system, seek harm reduction and reform where we can, and work to abolish these unjust systems so true equality can be created.

I know that sounds like a lot, but really we're just people who believe in equality and want to fight for a truly just world any way we can. The reason it seems like it takes a lot of things is because inequality and injustice is everywhere - but to be an anarchist all you have to do is fight the inequality right in front of you. Just do what you can with what you know and where you are.

Oh, and it helps to do a little reading. Theory is nice, but honestly history is better. Learn how the place you live was actually founded, and who was murdered to build the system you (in all likelihood) currently benefit from. It'll change you.

Fucking hell, the Non-Exclusionary Radical Femists 🥳

Thank you ❤️

Are you familiar with an author named Shane Claiborne?

[–] halfdane@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago

No, not at all

~~I'm ignorant on what a radfem is, can you please explain more? A quick skim of the opening paragraphs on Wiki doesn't sound too bad, but I don't think you'd be making this meme if it was that simple. Are they like TERFs?~~

[–] Silliari@quokk.au 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

it’s like the umbrella term SWERFs and TERFs fall under. majority of them actively blame/hate sex-workers and/or trans women (even TIRFs who are supposedly pro-trans have been known to misgender or attack trans women if they have been pro-sex workers or go against their beliefs) they also hold misandrist views a lot of the time (not that big of an issue but still sucks)

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 1 day ago

Thanks for that, fuck RadFems!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Wait, TERF isn't a word it's an acronym that stands for TE Radical Feminist... Nevermind, I think I get it now.
