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.

Ye ofc the only alternative the the Stalin regime was stagnation and defeat, clearly nothing else could have possibly have happened...
That is in fact very obviously true. If they hadn't developed their economy far faster than any other society in history, they couldn't possibly have produced enough food and war materiel to defeat the Nazis, which I hope we can agree was an extremely important thing for the Soviets to be able to do.
The revolution which was betrayed by the bolsheviks in its infancy would have achieved the same results and not devolved into an authoritarian dystopia in the process.
"A type of economic success achieved multiple times under "the tankies" and under literally nobody else would definitely have been achieved under the liberal government that the October revolution overthrew" is too farfetched and historically unfounded to even make a good historical fiction what if novel.
Funny how you still sound like the liberals who talk about the economic success of liberal capitalist revolutions based on cherry-picked metrics. Much like they ignore the imperialism and exploitation which powered those results, so do you ignore the exploitation and oppression that powered yours. Both are insufficient by anarchist standards and therefore we criticize them instead of having a naive deterministic view that this is the only way it could have happened.
But I'm sure you don't get it again, so I doubt I'll try to explain it once again after you reply with some delusions about the grandeur of the USSR.
Delusions of grandeur about the people who ended the Holocaust is wild coming from the petty tyrant of a reddit knockoff that they named after themselves.
Lol if you think I'm a tyrant, you'd do great under an ML regime based on a literal cult of personality.
Thank you for that amazing statement though. We might just make it into a tagline.
Why did you name this instance after yourself though, for real?
