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

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 just need more people. According to one of the speakers from the Mayday protest, we only need 3% of the population for the politicians to care and do something. As of right now, only 1% are currently active in this movement. It's not bad since we just started this movement a couple months ago, but if we keep growing at this rate, there won't be any changes till the end of the year.
Which still isn't too bad, and if he gets impeached and leaves office next year, I'll win my $10 bet with one of my friends.
I dont like this way of thinking because its the wromg way around. The very popular study believes, that non violent movements needed around 3% active participation to reach their goal. These movements did not set out with this number in mind.
Starting a movement with this specific number in mind will result in shortcuts that the movements in the study did not take.
Its like saying "healthy" people eat lots of vitamins and instead of doing all the stuff these people do/eat, you just take multivitamins and hope to have the same result.
It can work, but its a very one sided approach that leaves out so many other important aspects.
I understand your perspective, but it just gave me encouragement to do more and wanted to share. That is all.
