Savor the fantasy that Capitalists will allow a Revolution through the ballot box. Come home... To Simple Bernie.

Bonus points to anyone who remixes this to use Hasan Piker's face.

American's don't have class consciousness. If a revolution happens it will be a fascist authoritarian one like we saw on Jan 6.

Are you part of a revolutionary militia? If not, you better get your ass to the ballot box at the very least. Posting memes on your favorite social media app isn't going to change shit

Voting will, though. This is the most important election of any of our lives.

They genuinely believe they could make change by "putting the right person in change". I can't help but feel sorry for them :<

How is it possible that things can get worse if the wrong person is in charge, but that one would argue that things can't get better with the right person in charge? Either the person in charge has an effect on our collective situation or they don't.

Voting is the first, and only the first, step in a revolution, armed or otherwise.

But sure, for it to be useful, there have to be good candidates. Who's the pro-green, pro-Palestine, pro-healthcare, pro-fair use, pro-unions, con-AI, con-pharma, con-cars, con-shareholders candidate again?

There has to be a government worth participating in.

Chicken-and-egg problem?

Or maybe not so much. Ultimately, it's putting people in charge that even begins making a government. Put good people in charge.

Meh. I prefer something non-hierarchical… No I don’t have designs of that solution but if you need ‘someone in charge’ to force people into a system, I’m out. Ideally. Where my idealists at?!!

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.
