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.

i'm literally advocating for higher housing creation. i specifically stated

governments all around the world have the liberty and possibility to build houses and rent them out to people at-cost. Like, your city can do that. Where do you live? Seattle? Have you considered looking into how many houses the city of seattle has built in the last 20 years? And how many of them it rents out to people for cheap?

Which is as direct a request of municipalities to build social housing as it can be. I don't get how people interpret that as "corpo dick sucking"?!?

This is why BlackStone/BlackRock and places like it buy them.

There are enough empty homes now to end homelessness completely, but putting them into circulation would lower costs by reducing demand, so they make money by keeping them empty so the ones that are available will be valued much higher.

that's exactly what a monopoly does. one should look into how to apply anti-monopoly laws on the housing market more effectively.

Antitrust enforcement has been a joke in every sector as long as I've been alive, sadly.

And thats fine, but no city is going to build new social housing; would be communism. The landlords would crucify anyone who tried. Maybe literally.

Gotta use that slick fatty landlord blood to lube up those locks, get people housed. Including corpo landlords. Their very existence implies political oressure.
