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.

Those aren't leftist spaces. They're propaganda places for China etc

A leftist place doesn't magically become a chinese propaganda place whenever a few chinese propagandists show up there and raise their red flags. It's just an aspect of the whole thing.

At least when they start being the stereotype, that's where that goes.

This sounds kind of like the "Nazis at a bar" problem.

If you let 'a few' start hanging out at a bar, it becomes a Nazi bar.

So, what's the solution? Ban them all?

Yes.

I'm all for open and fluid communication, it's why I like this platform, but there needs to be a respect for the social contract. If the area is for the organization and discussion of a specific political format than joining with the intention of converting others or the area to a different format is a violation of that contract. It's the same situation as going into a meme channel and trying to talk people into making it about pet photos under the guise of believing your pet is memable.

They can have their own booth at the conference and anyone interested will come naturally, they don't need to pretend to be someone else to trick the gulable.
