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.

More important than opposition to the current system is the prefiguration of an anarchic one. So much online discourse is about attacking, a lot less is about building. I drew this to remind myself and others that confronting the state is only a part of the puzzle and building new systems without it is also important.

An essential part of laying groundwork is to live the change.

  • co-op everything you can in your day-to-day: credit unions, buying clubs, cohousing, fuel & groceries (western canadians can join these), tool shares, etc
  • barter networks amongst friends, neighbours, and via classified ads
  • use community facilities and dive back by volunteering
  • mutual aid networks
  • grow some food plants
  • pay it forward

Andrewism

I am perfectly aware of Andrewism's work - I stopped watching them (and most anarchist media) because I don't think they are actually serious about performing the real theoretical work preconfiguration would require.

Anarchist FAQ

I am perfectly aware of the Anarchist FAQ, too.

Real theoretical work is a concept I don't understand

Real theoretical work is a concept I don’t understand

A critique of hierarchy - no matter how airtight it might happen to be - is not a suitable basis for preconfiguration.

Knowing what something mustn't be is not nearly enough - one must know what something must be in order to build it.

Libertarianism masquerading as leftism.

This is an anarchist comm. We aren't masquerading anything. We fight against all injustice: state, class, gender, sexuality. You know. Liberty for everyone equally.

Libertarianism masquerading as leftism.

Since when does libertarianism "masquerade" as leftism? You do know that this is literally the original association of the term libertarian, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since they call themselves “anarchists.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Duh... that's what I'm trying to tell you, genius.

Who do you think used that term first, eh?
