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

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.

i don't see how. do you have a crystal ball?
You don't need a crystal ball to observe history.
the past isn't the future
No shit, but looking at past results is how we make informed decisions about literally everything. What the fuck is your point?
they don't know what a future looks like without the state or capital.
We can cross that bridge when we get there. Until then, using actual data is more useful than wishful thinking.
to be clear, you don't know the future
No shit. Again, what's your fucking point? Stop being vague and obtuse and just say what you're getting at.
any claim about the future is dubious, and theirs to a great degree
Using the past to make an informed decision on how to proceed is not making dubious claims about the future. The only one making dubious claims about the future is you. Please explain to me how disolving the state would somehow make vigilante justice more effective, considering that vigilante justice is already outside the purview of the state?
I never said vigilante justice would be more effective. you're arguing with a strawman.
You very clearly advocated for vigilante justice and then doubled down when u/village604 said that history shows its objectively worse. You're splitting hairs and I'm blocking your disingenuous ass now.
oh thank God
No crystal ball, but history repeats itself. That shit isn't even in the distant past.
Do you honestly think that groups of people with no experience in criminal investigations will get it right more often than people who dedicated their lives to it?
i think that the systems that govern us are unjust in a myriad of ways. i'm willing to tolerate some level of injustice in dealing with antisocial behavior, since i get that already, if it means we can throw off all the rest of the oppression we face from being governed.
