But they have!

If you're in a revolutionary group of any kind, never forget that the money and weapons you receive likely has strings attached, strings that you are unaware of. (see history of KKK and The Weather Underground, for example).

USA smuggles weapons all over the globe, they have been doing this since the Brown Bess rifle. Odds are very good they will be somewhere in any supply chain.

Other countries have their own version of the CIA (much smaller, of course). They may very well provide weapons and money, often, that was provided to them by other sources (usually the CIA for some reason, yes, the CIA arms many groups that are enemies of the USA).

In the CIA's defence, they also sell weapons simply to make money, no strings attached.

Obviously, they then use that money to avoid congressional and democratic oversight and perpetuate evil.

Bit of a tangent, but I sometimes wonder if the Banana Republic clothing store was a CIA psy-op to ensure the American people didn't read too much about actual banana republics and the role of American empire.

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.
