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.

Do I need to point at the so "North Korea is a democracy because it has democracy in the name" sign again?
Yes, the Nazis had some socialist leanings in the early days - but they were all eliminated once the Nazis came to power cementing them with Hitlers more pro-capital and anti-socialist side of the party rather than the more economically socialist Strasserites. So weren't the government of the Nazi Reich, and out of the way long before the Second World War.
Mussolini's PNF are a more interesting and murky choice, as Mussolini came from and had some more left wing views, and even though they crimibalised strikes they did at least give more heed to resolving class conflict - albeit as fascists do by conquest.
Israel is a good shout, and it was much more socialist back in its early days. Sadly, since the economic reforms of 85 with its privatisation of state services, cuts, and general adoption of neoliberal economic policy I don't think counts as Socialist... And it only really got full fascy after then, the assassination of the leader in the 90s for the Oslo Accords and following elections makes a good mark for Israel turning unapologetically fascist I think
israel was always fascist , the entire zionist ideology is fascist !
Zionism, especially it's modern incarnation: sure.
But there was a struggle for Israel's soul that fascism won, due to that Zionist influence. But it needn't have necessarily won.
It was fascist in its paramilitary early days, too. But that also predated the state.
