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

More important than opposition to the current system is the prefiguration of an anarchic one. So much online discourse is about attacking, a lot less is about building. I drew this to remind myself and others that confronting the state is only a part of the puzzle and building new systems without it is also important.

An anarchist society isn’t a building. It’s a tree.

Flipping the metaphors doesn't change anything - except the metaphors. We know how trees work, too.

As soon as you start planning and designing parts of this society you start ignoring other peoples contribution

So whose "contributions" are you waiting for? Tankies? Liberals? Fascists, maybe?

stifling their liberty and self-determination.

Says who? You?

State socialists are the ones who are designing society according to their own vision

Pretending that anarchists getting serious about preconfiguration is comparable to tankie's plans to murder, torture, starve and generally brutalise the working class into accepting their warped ideas of what they cynically call "socialism" isn't just facetious - it's downright incoherent. It seems to me that you don't have much faith in your fellow anarchist's abilities... apart from peddling empty propaganda, that is.

I cannot really contribute to the discussion of heavy industry or agriculture,

Well, I sure do know that you don't know squat about trees... so, I guess you're right on that count.

I would love to start a tech-collective but I don’t have the contacts. That’s why I spend most of my time on here, it feels like the only place I can actually contribute.

I asked you this before, and you didn't answer. So here it is again... are you starting to see the disconnect?

It’s chaos compared to centralized power structures,

Again... says who?

The difference between anarchists and statists is that we embrace the chaos

No, we don't. Something tells me you haven't actually seen much chaos in your lifetime.

Any concrete societal structure can only be maintained with control.

No society can survive without control - and that goes double for an anarchist one. An anarchist society will have to be better at controlling things than a statist one - that is the whole point.
