Flippanarchy
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 [email protected]

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.

We talk a lot about left and right wing and what it means here. If you're destroying elite power structures you are to the left of the king. There is zero ambiguity there.
It's always been 99% vs 1%
The problem is that 49.5% think they are on the side of the 1%
Left wing, and right wing are a construct to divide us. The video below goes into the history of the term and how it's been used in modern reporting.
If anyone has a peertube or other non YouTube link I’ll edit my comment to that link

That's pretty simplistic and puts the cart before the horse. Political coalitions are not a new phenomenon, nor are picking up your politics from your social connections. That was exactly how politics worked in Rome. Hell in Constantinople their coalitions straight up sponsored chariot racing teams and ended up burning the city down https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots . Your membership in a coalition was dependent on who you received patronage from.
My point is, from the essence, from it's meaning to the days of the third estate, breaking down power structures is left wing.
I saw that video the other day. While I think that it’s true that there are social reasons why people adopt their politics. You’re extending that fact a bit far to say that fact nullifies left/right understandings of politics.
That isn’t to say you shouldn’t have class solidarity with right-wingers. But it is a delicate situation because you also must maintain class solidarity with the groups right-wingers have been taught to hate.
