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.

Also, unions weren't outlawed in the USSR nor China. They both had/have a single giant union. Both governments serve(d) to protect the working from the ruling class.
You don't really need a union to negotiate terms in the same was as you do in the west. You already have universal health care, housing, education, etc.. I suppose the union could serve to protect workers from safety issues, which I'm sure wouldn't be a huge issue in a socialist environment.
Living conditions in China are surpassing the west. Education is one of the primary focuses, just as it was in the USSR. An educated work force is a happy, productive work force.
I think your opinion of the east may be a little outdated, and much of it was most likely never true.. The US budgets millions to just make shit up. I'm sure European countries and the UK play the same manipulative game.
Progress is happening very quickly. Anyways, I wish you well. We hold different opinions, but I think we're on the same side of the war.
Right, a single giant union... subordinated to the vanguard. Very legit.
thanks for the laugh, just completely ignoring the entire comment to reiterate the same point op was refuting.
thanks for not even trying, gave me a giggle.
Yeah sorry, I should have taken time out of my day to sincerely refute the nuanced, good faith argument of "actually unions aren't/weren't necessary because management was so good to them they didn't need to advocate for themselves independently from the vanguard party."
glad to know it wasnt a once off comment, you really are just a little politically illiterate :)
