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.

Give it another 10-15 years.
didn't work with Russia
Yep. The more time you give them to consolidate their power, brainwash people etc. The less chance of success you have.
With all respect meant we think you mean condition and manipulate. Brainwashing is a very specific thing used in torture etc.
Perhaps yes, but brainwashing has entered the common usage to mean more than the original specific meaning. Kind of like βgaslightingβ which was at first something very specific.
Hm. Okay.
Like see the dictionary defintion which has become quite loose.
This shows that revolt against the government is not sufficient to guarantee an anarchist future...which isn't shocking considering all the times where people have revolted and the results were reactionary and authoritarian states. But I hope that the belief that it is necessary if insufficient is not controversial around here.
For a revolt to lead to an anarchist future, it has to be an anarchist revolution (i.e. a revolution caused via the destabilizing effects of prefiguration on the system).
Exactly!
Which we donβt currently haveβ¦
Oh, the 100+ years revolt worked, pretty well, it just had nothing to do with anarchy - both major forces were socialist and capitalist tyranny fans. Anarchists were not very numerous, except for Ukrainian Mahno movement and a few less known, all of which were just conquered by regular means of war, being successful otherwise.
I mean toppled USSR, that was given time to fuck everything up at its own pace afterards. And pretty much any other tyranny that was given freedom to violate all reasonable humanity laws, from cancer and Somalian pirates to Google and Facebook, - things just get worse with time.
A revolt is needed and required, but this will more likely be successful in European countries . Most Americans do not understand democracy or anarchism or anything else that is reasonable.
Without the corrupt federal oversight or strong rule by the individual states, the masses will, in one generation or two, resemble the hundreds of German principalities from the 1600s or 1700s.
Only by using yet to be invented technology to enable small groups of people to be economically sufficient, can the USA ever hope to have decent governance
I mean to be fair America seems to be following the German model, as opposed to Russia which is following the Spanish model. Given that more than half the population is fair game for the new Nazis, MAGAmerica will collapse sooner or later.
