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.

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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
Libs thinking we're on their side, until the point we reject electoralism and US imperialist propaganda. Then label as as "tankies".
Campists thinking we're on their side until the point we reject "AES" and "left unity". Then label as a "liberals".
Anarchists are clearly the rare species of "liberal tankie" ๐
Buddy it's lemmy, there are no conservatives here. Punching left when the only place to punch is left hardy makes someone a "crypto-fascist" lmao
Yeah but its like ~~nearly all they do~~ a core part of their identity. It's not that they punch left its how often they do it, how they do it, and the rhetoric they have shown themselves to be comfortable with.
The whole Nazis Lives Matter thread a while back with the Nuremberg Trial critics I figured would've been enough for people.
The what now?
Threads back during the German elections.
One spillover into this community:

A number of users there have since changed accounts and/or instances, in some cases multiple times.
Point being: all the dedicated tankie bashing is put into stark context when the opportunity to bash Nazis is met with a kind of resistance they'd permaban a tankie over.
Holy shit do I hate German liberals. Tell me none of your family had to die because the oppressor rapist, pillagers, murderers and genociders dressed in uniform thought of them as dirt to be "cleansed" for their own "Lebensraum"; tell me without telling me.
Half of Eastern Europe wasn't wiped out, 6 million Jews were not gassed and 27 million Soviet citizens (only 9 million of which were from the Red Army) didn't die, just so you can whine about how your great grandparents "didn't have a choice" and how fascists deserve(d) "human rights"; no, the only good fascist is a dead one.
Fascist deserve only one right: the choice between the mineshaft and the bullet.
And what infuriates me most: There are few things the liberals will defend as ferociously as the political/"human" rights of the fascists. I'm not even gonna start about how liberals and thus capitalism are the reason fascism gets to exist in the first place...
A good video of Parenti on this topic (timestamped, but you are welcome to watch the whole 4 minutes, very good video)
I'm gonna leave you with two quotes by Brecht:
Nothing makes me despise someone's piss poor views on ethics more than trying to defend the humanity of someone who chooses to betray humanity.
Yes, they're still humans, but people deserve to get what they choose, too. What does someone deserve when they choose to betray humanity?
I didn't even now that existed but it sounds awful
