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.

No surprises there... anything that isn't tankie propaganda seems "weird" to tankies.
Prove it.
Really? Is that why all Spain's gold reserves (the third largest in the world at the time) ended up in Moscow?
Tankies have a weird understanding of the term "solidarity."
I'm not saying that the only reason Barcelona didn't fall to the fascists right at the start of the war was because of the anarchists... oh, wait - that's exactly what I'm saying.
I'm not saying that anarchist plans to turn Barcelona into a death trap for the fascists was quashed by the cowardly Negrin-regime (the very same Negrin that helped Stalin steal all of Spain's gold reserves)... oh, wait - that's exactly what I'm saying.
Come, tankie... let's see how well your faux-history holds up.
Oh I see, they're called 'tankies' because the USSR gave 731 tanks to the Republicans, being the only nation to provide them any material support
What would you prefer we call you? Considering that the Bolsheviks managed the greatest single gold heist of the 20th century (from a nation being invaded by fascists, of course), would you prefer we call you "Goldies?"
Me when I'm an anarchist who cares about state gold reserves.
Anyway, it was payment for the
That the USSR provided. Should they have given it for free? Should they have not given support at all? Would it have been better for the Republicans to just accept they were going to lose anyway and die with their gold? Would you prefer that gold to have been captured by the Fascists?
Besides, the actual greatest gold heist of the century was during Indian independence, when their entire gold reserves were airlifted to the UK in exchange for... nothing. Which I'm sure you knew about, having devoted a proportional amount of your time to looking into the actual crimes of capitalist nations as you have the fictional crimes of socialist ones.
I don't care much for gold... but it seems to be one of the few things you tankies actually do care about.
But hey, tankie... good news! Now at least we know that there are at least two reasons tankies would actually bother to fight fascists at all, eh?
That is all the third largest gold reserve in the world at the time paid for? Just that measly amount of "aid?"
The Soviet Union got 7,411 aircraft from the western allies during WW2 - was Tankie Nr.3 forced to ship all his gold reserves to Washington DC, perhaps?
You were the only person to bring up gold…
Did I, tankie?
Seems your glorious Tankie Nr.3 brought it up quite a few years ago...
You're very odd. You were the one who brought up gold in this thread.
Jesus Christ you tankies are hard of hearing. Here... again.
Seems your glorious Tankie Nr.3 brought it up quite a few years ago...
But again, you seem to be the only person that actually cares about this gold.
Frankly the fact that you’re arguing that you’d prefer the USSR to have not aided the Republic, and that you’d have preferred Franco to have held these gold reserves rather than the Soviets, just says a lot about you and your convictions.
Lol! Quite the duplicitous lot, aren't you?
Is there anything you and your ilk say that can be trusted in any way whatsoever?
Only because this thread is flooded with tankies that don't.
It would have been absolutely grand if the USSR actually aided Spain in it's fight against fascism. But it seems you don't actually understand the difference between aiding someone and extorting them.
You're so bizarrely bitter about something that happened decades before you were born. It's very strange.
We should just forget the past and "move on," eh tankie?
Juast another narrative you copypasted from the liberals and the fascists?
Your understanding of history is so bad you might as well have forgotten the past.
So you just want me to bring up the history that doesn't prove how vile your ideology is, tankie? Is that it?
