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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

I agree that building more coops and councils is a good start. I do want us to be politically effective too, though. When I say "politically", I'm not talking about electioneering or participating in liberal democracy. I'm talking abeut building power. Expanding the message. Growing coalitions. Growing the movement. That can't be done if all were focused on is endless gatekeeping and purity testing 24/7.

All that is done naturally by taking part in horizontal orgs.

Also, I disagree that taking one day to cast a vote ballot is asking too much.

Then you're missing the forest for the trees. Elections is not "one day to cast a vote", it's years long process wasting millions of volunteer work hours, mental health and goodwill.

But you response shows me you were just wasting my time. You weren't trying to learn, you were trying to prove a point to some imaginary audience.

The electoral system is not going away overnight. You can build the new world while lending a hand to those in need.

If you can't be bothered to cast one ballot on one day of the year to help your brothers and sisters, then that betrays a level of callousnoss and sociopathy I want no association with. And I see all too often in this crowd. It's quite sad.
