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.

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.

all this meme tells people is you having no idea how to bring change and rather make the system you want to abolish focus on destroying you, instead of coming up with an actual plan
Google stonewall.
Stonewall was a party sponsored by big corporations to virtue signal and then all the liberals clapped and the world was good.
stonewall is when a bunch of respectable cis white gays went to the government and politely asked "hey, can we have rights pretty please? 🥺" and the nice democrats said "oh, what an idea! give you rights! why haven’t we thought of this before???" and after that gay marriage was legalized and queer rights were fully achieved. the end 😇
Google 'Million Man march'. Or. 'Civil rights' movement. Or. Etc. On and on and on. Violence almost always ISN'T the answer. Disregard what ACAB tells you. There ARE good policemen out there. They just get buried because they get tied to anarchy when they speak out, and it's our duty as good citizens to let them flourish, democracy dies in the dark
The civil rights movement absolutely used violence. Google "radical flank effect".
Sigh... in amounts of man-hours, that was 0.3% of the time, reform is what made things better. Much like the Boston tea party was .25 Of peaceful Protest
Reform is what got us where we are today. You can't reform the oppressors out of capitalism.

...do you think we're Trump supporters? 😆
Please take this entire comment and negate it premise by premise, and you will arrive at the truth.
I went for the praxis of ‘be the lack of bullshit you want to see in the world’ and genuinely went to apply at my local PD, did the 12 hour ride along, the whole thing. I bailed immediately after seeing the reality of what modern US law enforcement actually is, on a ‘normal’ day in my safe, well tax-based and developed county.
It was bullshit. Any pretense of ‘Serve and Protect’ was immediately shattered when after a few hours of running speed traps on downhill slopes and on the periphery of speed limit changes, the cop needed to ‘show activity’ and decide to head over to the trailer park which has known migrants, and laid in wait for an ANPR hit - “hunting over bait” as he called it. And lo and behold (because this clearly wasn’t the first time this worked) it didn’t take long before he nabbed a Hispanic mom taking her kid somewhere. No license, because she’s undocumented, but still has a job and was trying to provide. “The law is the law” so she went to jail, the kid is crying hysterically, CPS gets called, and the entire time the cop is trying to play like he’s helping by intervening. That this is necessary. That she could be a dangerous driver, needs to take the driving test (which is a joke where I live), all while ignoring the reality that she’s not part of the problem. The laws are. We are.
It is almost impossible to effect meaningful change from within a structure that inwardly rejects oversight and reform, whilst outwardly enforcing policies against a population without compassion or adjustment to the scenario.
No
Smartass
America is so past the point that positive change will come without violent resistance. What you’re saying has absolutely zero historical context.
i didn't say anything about non-violence. you just assumed that, because you can't even imagine a successful strategy
I have a non violent plan … wait.. sorry lost it. But, it was a real nice one. Promise
i think you accidentally replied to the wrong comment
Just because you don't like our plans, doesn't mean we don't have them.
your movement is insignificant, because you assume everyone is your enemy
