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.

The green represents the need for ecological revolution, whilst the black is a nod to the original black anarchist flag. The blood red snowflake represents how the environment is dying from eco-fascism.

Edit: very important to mention that I am Canadian. The permafrost and Arctic are melting.

I think the symbolism could be improved, but I still think it is great that you are experimenting with symbolism:D Symbolism is such a great way of showing what we believe in and making dragments, and it is a way of diversifying which will strengthen us.

I'm with you on the symbolism of green and black, but I'm a little sceptical of the red snowflake although I agree with the underlying meaning. It is true that red is associated with head and that the snowflake is associated with coldness, however in symbolism this doesn't necessarily translate to the conceptual metaphor of melting.

I'd perhaps suggest using the symbol that represents ice glaciers. That could be a drawing of a glacier, but it could also be a polar bear or anything we strongly /universally associate with the glaciers.
