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.

The Vietnamese people themselves did that. The US anti-war protest movement was a great thing, but the Vietnamese people defeated the US empire through their own efforts.
Of course, but the American public's lost appetite to prosecute the war is what pushed Washington to pull out completely. After all, American troops actually killed more North Vietnamese soldiers than vice versa; but a North Vietnamese official declared "that may be the case, but that is irrelevant". War is as much fueled by the will to fight as the number of bodies the belligerents throw into the battlefield. A country could attain more casualties than the opponent and still not lose the will to fight (like the USSR during World War 2).
