It's important not to forget that the race riots we've been having, and the antifa-ICE/police riots, are indirectly caused by labor relations.

  • Corpos import cheap labour and illegally exploit them;

  • The locals get angry about this practice eroding their own working conditions;

  • Corpo agents in the corpo-owned media incite hatred and fear against the people being exploited, diverting it away from the corpos themselves;

  • Corpo-owned governments "crack down" on the illegal immigrants, which has several benefits for the corpos:

    • It makes immigrant lives more precarious and dangerous, allowing greater exploitation;
    • The corpos do not get blamed by the locals;
    • Hatred of immigrants means that locals are less inclined to care about exploitation of immigrants;
    • Governments can legally enslave people by imprisoning them, and forcing them to work for corpos for practically no pay. This is the current boom industry in the United States.

As usual business creates the problem and then blames it on the government. Everyone hates the government but business is calling the shots.

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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
