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

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.

Guys guys, lets work for the slow death instead of the fast death

i mean... yes?

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 23 points 2 days ago (5 children)

What about working for the no death ?

The fbi will murder you.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're not mutually exclusive. I'd argue it's easier to work on the no death solution under a slow death regime than a fast one. We've still got a lot of work to do to get to an ideal solution. Lesser evil solutions ensure slightly more favorable conditions while we do that work.

Well that's called necromancy and is generally frowned upon (ofc i get what you mean, avoiding death is the goal)

Not always! If you add the rocket equation it's called cosmism.

Interesting argument, planet destroying weapon of mass destruction

What can I say, my Gary is called anarchism 😛

we all are working for it but clearly aren't there yet, to draw a parallel, we don't have a cure for cancer YET but you can bet your ass i'm gonna do chemo if i end up with it

But how is liberalism [the slow death cult] going to get us there. Liberalism has been the dominant system for the past 70 years. And I’d say we’re worse off economically then we were in the 60s.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Liberalism is what USA is founded on

We could squabble about specifics for a long time. But using a broad definition. Yes, you are absolutely 100% correct. I was thinking with a narrow 20th century defintion.

Liberalism has been the dominant system for the past 70 years

8/14 presidents were republican. that's the majority, for those of you that can't do math

And I’d say we’re worse off economically then we were in the 60s.

doesnt take much for a billionaire-backed asshole to undo decades of progress cough trump

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Republicans have been broadly economically liberal until Trump’s second term.

To reuse the analogy, I'm not saying that everyone becoming immortal will happen in a finger snap, I'm saying that "just dying from cancer Vs. chemo for a few wealthy" is a bullshit choice. The first wee basic step we should strive for is to make the treatment available to all those suffering from cancer.

The wee basic step we should strive for is to make the treatment available to all those suffering from cancer.

right. so the slow death. the one you were previously criticizing.

In politics, the first wee basic step we should strive for is not a complete revolution without the support of the masses, but to put in power someone who, if not better, doesn't ruin more the already tragic and delicate system we have, to give us time to organize better.

And uhh yeah we kinda failed at that

without the support of the masses

Good thing clinton and harris had all that support of the masses, love how they managed to get all that support from the masses. Im glad me not voting for them didn't matter, because 'the masses' supported them so much!

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Said it already, the slow death is accepting that the treatment should go to those who can afford it. That's the unacceptable compromise for leftists...

Offer arrives from global council of oligarchs tomorrow:

Kill all landlords, landback by the end of the month, cops are allowed only two pieces of kit¹, but we keep gig apps cops and for-profit healthcare for at least another decade. No struggle no tear gas no death.

I'd take that deal.

¹pants bullets radio and a car each count for one.

the slow death is accepting that the treatment should go to those who can afford it.

and how does that relate to politics, especially seeing as you are actively sabotaging the party that wants medicare/medicaid
