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 [email protected]

  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.

Not true. The left are always fighting. Always disagreeing methods. If the left would be one strong front we would actually achieve something and fight nazis better.

I was reading George Orwell’s hommage to Catalonia the other day and was just shocked by how brutal this was.

For context Orwell served in the POUM (anti-authoritarian marxists) in the spanish civil war against the facist-conservative-feudalist camp. However over time the liberal bourgeoisie and the Stalinist side of the republic (anti-facist forces), allied themselves together and started brutally repressing the Anarchist and Anti-Stalinist Marxist Factions. They basically handed the victory over to the facists by purging the left.

Communism has no love for anything or anyone but itself.

Nah, communists and anarchists are definitely crushing on one another and would be down to sloppily make out when given the chance :3

It gets a bit tough in the immediate post-revolutionary period though due to our differences, but as long as ML's aren't in charge I'm sure we can get through it together

OK, that was my bad. I was using "communism" to refer to specifically to MLs, but yes, there's nothing wrong between anarchists and communism in general.

Can we focus on the common enemy for now? Can we all agree that of there is going to be a repeat of a dynamic from 100 years ago, it isn't likely going to happen real soon? Just seems like a waste of energy at this point of political reality.

“Can we focus on our mutual enemy?”

Says the person planning on murdering anarchists if they ever get their way.

Yes, Uncle Makhno, we will give you the bullets you wanted to defend against the Whites. Shoots the black brigades in the back

i feel like you can’t be stupid enough to not understand it, so why are you pretending like you don’t?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh i understand it. I just don't think its a good saying. The enemy of an enemy is not automatically a friend.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

yeah it’s not literally 100% true

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not if your enemies enemy is also your enemy, you dope
