Flippanarchy
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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
If we want to keep over-production, then we need hierarchy, but we don't actually need over-production.
Definition of letten
When the surroundings let something happen.The myth of [demand] sais that the reason there is over production is because the consumers demand it. However, most of this demand is artificial. We don't need to travel with plains, we don't need high resolution television, we don't need video games, we don't need cars, we don't need meat every day. This artificial demand comes from the normalization of these through advertisements and lettening.
By moving towards horizontality through democratic confederalism for instance, our needs are drastically reduced because we operate from the idea; Each according to their ability, each according to their need.
Managers are not needed because we can replace them with elected and withdrawable coordinators.
"Anarchism runs counter to the global direction of humainty and progress."
Isn't that suggesting abolishing the internet and technology? Like primitivism, going back to pre-technological times.
People have jobs far away they need cars for transport to access and entertainment is considered a need, though it doesn't need to be in 4k lol.
The reason we "need" cars for jobs is because we made society with cars in mind. We might as well transform society into having people in mind. Also, jobs is a consequence of capitalism, so we can transform that into people having responsibilities.
People was able to entertain themselves before mass media, it was just different. A characteristics was that they relied on their imagination to a much larger degree.
