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 !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.

American liberals deserve Trump until they get the damn message. You may be able to shame some people on the internet into voting for corporate captured candidates, but come voting day people simply won't turn out for them.
It's just bad strategy. They're addicted to failure.
Oh. Are you not American?
Most media-defined liberals here are better called "neoliberals". I really doubt they're over a third of the population here.
We call the people that think healthcare is a human right, education should be affordable or even "free", and wars are a total disaster progressives politely and woke libtards pejoratively, or just libs. These people make up about 70% of the population.
Late comment here, but it is only a bad strategy if you think that they care about winning elections.
They don't. They get more donations when they don't than when they do. Sure, you need some level of political power to maintain the ruse, and keep the lobbying money flowing, but the DNC cares about one thing and one thing only, maintaining complete control over the federal-level of the party, especially against the left-wing, because if the left-wing gets in, then all of those lucrative lobbying deals no longer exist.
It's not an addiction to failure. It's a strategy of failure. And it works extremely well. When the Republicans win, not a single sitting federal-level Democratic politician suffers, because they all are rich enough to avoid the consequences. They know we 'have to' vote for them, so they give us our 'only option' even when anyone who isn't blinded by the propaganda knows they are a loser. Because it doesn't matter one way or the other to them, as long as they maintain control, they will be able to get what they want.
When you start to think about it this way, suddenly everything the DNC does makes complete sense and is logical.
