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.

  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.

im gonna try and any% speedrun this response

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say in the first part

atl you understood the second paragraph, right? i was stating the US prison statistics from the similar period you asked for

The literal entire argument is that Russian life didn't improve enough under the USSR as compared to a fictional anarchist alternative, such that communists are indistinguishable from fascists.

firstly no it's that it still went into many of the governance horrors capitalist states are criticized for

secondly how does "oh look at that it was so much worse before" manage to give you anything to prove that

imprisonment rates

i never compared or even gave you an imprisonment rate. that's amount of prisoners divided by population. i gave the prison excess mortality rate, deaths divded by prison population. that's very different

as a beneficiary of imperialism the US doesn't need as brutal punishment in its own territory

i don't understand this logic. what makes brutal punishment necessary when you don't do imperialism?

you just didn't respond to them or provide any evidence for your assertion

yes i did did you even click on the link what did you think it was talking about
