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.

Hello m@tes. I have immigrated from lemm.ee following the imminent closure, (and needed to but ana in front of my name because the one I used on lemm.ee was taken.)
Here is just a small thing I made after skimming the comments of a recent popular post. As it is a small image and I'm getting better with Krita this one only took ~35 minutes. Improvements. Yay!
Just here to watch the libs label Anarchists as Tankies πΏ
Listen, if you can find a local politician that listens, that wants to court the movement, that isn't allergic to accountability, that is actually literate in that field even as they want to participate, that isn't bought?
You've found a mythical creature. You may as well try to do fantastical things like convince Anarchists to vote.
Other than that? Meh, its casual. Maybe spend an hour in line talking to voters about what they really care about, and loudly complain that no party is addressing the real concerns like Ghost Jobs or Wage Theft. Invite the silly vote-enjoyers to go make sandwiches.
Or don't.
Just don't pretend voting (or not) means that much. Go actually do the Mutual Aid.
Some good fucking takes today
I did this in 2016. Still regret it.
The state does not care if you participate.
There is no amount of turnout so low that the people with power will go βwelp our power isn't legitimate anymoreβ
Every good thing the government ever gave you, they gave you because either someone else did it first, the government killed them, and they knew there would be riots if they didnt put a half assed replacement in place
Or because they had literal guns to their head, and their first few attempts to kill people olding them didnt work.
That's not what anarchists are aiming at all. The point is to put all the effort going into electoral politics, into prefiguration instead. And that is not just enough to delegitimize the state, but to collapse capitalism itself.
thank you for not voting. it increases the power of my vote. hope you like the rulers i will install to govern you
You don't choose your ruler. You choose from a pre approved list what style of boot the oligarchy puts on your neck. And even then you're only the tie breaker.
Personally; i care about style, but if you don't, it really doesn't matter.
Edit: sorry, forgot about foot guys. I know that's a common kink. I guess it matters to them, too. Are you a foot guy? That's okay, but maybe don't insist i should share your kink.
you can join a party that votes for their candidates and pre approve this one as well, if you don't like the ones they put. you can even run yourself.
So you're a foot guy, then?
WTF is with all these downvotes?!? Y'all need to read this: https://www.indigenousaction.org/voting-is-not-harm-reduction-an-indigenous-perspective/
libs get very salty on this anarchist perspective so they impotently downvote because we took away their right to make smug comments about it.
