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.

Potato tomato. Neoliberalism (the kind of Liberals the DNC leadership are) is the ideology of Thatcher and Reagan and refers to laissez faire economic policy, not ACTUAL liberty for all.
Yup. Still Neoliberal.
Yeah, those fascists are textbook ultra-regressive
Because over 99% of them are. Liberalism ≠ Leftism.
They'll also keep calling themselves progressive, though, which IS left wing and thus NOT what the vast majority of Democrat politicians are.
Because blatantly lying about what they are and what they do is THE pillar supporting all GOP election success since the 60s if not sooner.
I mean, you're right about one of them and wrong about the other 🤷🏻
Which part(s)? The part you're right about about, or both?
Part of what I'm complaining about is that groups following an ideology often give themselves names and descriptions that do not accurately describe the ideology. If we accept that and use the labels they gave themselves, then we distort what those words even mean and language is useless.
Imma cherry pick some definitions in order to best make my current point.
Liberal. Adjective.
Favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.
Open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.
Conservative. Adjective.
Disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change.
I don't think I need to do a section on "fascist".
Also also, the word "neoliberal" is absolute syllable salad to me. It's like it's trying to pretend to be one thing, but is actually the polar opposite of it. It's a case of a movement naming itself without regard to what the fuck the word actually means and therefore it doesn't mean a damn thing. Neoliberal is a name, not a description, for diet republicans.
