Alt: "Choose your own radical identity" followed by an anarchist flag with half of it being blank. Next to it are crayons in different colors, referencing different anarchist orientations using different colours to fill the space. At the bottom it says: "A DIY activity book for ages 9-12"

One of these is not like the others (throw that yellow crayon in the bin).

Not with the half black flag it isn't, that's "an"caps.

Is that just extreme libertarianism? Legitimately curious.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Libertarianism has roots in leftism, actually, the Capitalists appropriated the word.

Either way, Anarcho-Capitalism is an ideology surrounding the magical idea that Capitalism can exist without a state. The delusional people that follow such an ideology like to imagine that security forces would be paid for, and somehow be better than public forces, in order to uphold the legitimacy of Private Property. They also foolishly believe that monopoly wouldn't happen because there isn't a state to prop them up.

AnCaps are just edgier libertarian Capitalists with even less common sense, surprisingly.

Less common sense and even more problematic attitudes about consent and age.

Somehow it always gets worse with them.

Interesting, thank you!

Green is typically eco-anarchism, which can align with solar punk but not necessarily.

That's dark green

I’m gonna colour it in black, and add a white skull and crossbones on top.

What instance is that?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

That's just the piracy community

blahaj.zone's flag is the anarcha-feminist flag (purple) and everybody who disagrees is dividing the movement /j

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can you expand on this a bit? Are they disagreeing with the colors? Or with anarcho-feminism?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I wasn't being serious, there's no truth in that comment - I added a tone indicator

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I see a bunch of colors, I draw rainbows.

Queer-anarchism or something

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Black. I don't know what it is for but an all black flag would look cool.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

It's one of the oldest anarchist flags, actually.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Black. Is just an older version of an anarchist flag

The black flag has been associated with anarchism since the 1880s, when several anarchist organizations and journals adopted the name Black Flag.

You'd much rather have a black skull and bones, rather than red. Black means they're gonna rob you, but if you don't fight back, they won't kill you. Red means death either way.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

this is absurd.

everyone knows the answer is always dandelion, the crayon so powerful crayola retired it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Gross, anarcho-capitalism

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Red would be closest for me. Syndicalism is pretty based, as well as Anarcho-Communism.

Everyone but the mutualists say it’s mutualism, they say they’re covered by red

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

luckily no actual red would ever include mutualists (in the red)

smth smth the hell of capitalism is the firm, not the fact that it has a boss smth smth markets force even cooperatives to behave like capitalist cooperations smth smth

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What are you going to do? Shoot them in the back about it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

...no? I just wouldn't include them as reds, tho they still seem to be generally anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, progressive and so on

even if they're largely irrelevant and an internet phenomenon
