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 [email protected]

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.

Could be. Stopping working for the system, with massive strikes. There is nothing they fear more. But they will exercise violence first, have no doubt. They are the lords and masters of violence. With violence they have the upper hand. A difficult situation to manage.

History has shown us again and again that when capital feels threatened, it gets violent anyways. Look at how many strikes have been beaten down, shot or even bombed (look it up, the first plane-dropped bombs in the US were dropped on striking miners)

I dislike violence, and I don't think it's good strategy to start it (that's why I'm a syndicalist), but realistically, we should be ready for the reaction.

Lest we forget about the Black Wall Street massacre.

Fair enough. 1921 truly was a good year to bomb the american people, it would seem

God, the best year for bombing american civilians. 2025 is looking pretty promising though.

Actually might've been on black people getting money in oklahoma. I forget which was first.

Someone else linked that, the Tulsa massacre was indeed a couple of months earlier

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Okay, months, i feel better not knowing it was sooner.

You need stockpiles of food, water and heat.

But yes, this is the way.
