    I know your intent, but damn, the way you arranged the meme, it’s more like it’s advocating against people being able to manage anything, instead of against despotism…

    Maybe the order of the top vs bottom sentences should be reversed, or another format be used entirely, dunno. It’s weird.

      It’s because their intent is to make elections look like a sham.

    You don’t govern the country through voting, you just choose what mask the politics wears while it fucks you up the ass

    If workplace despotism is so great then why don’t we go back to feudalism with billionaires as our rulers? 🙄

      Ironically it was supposed to prevent idiots from electing someone like Trump.

    You’re arguing against a position that nobody holds. Stupid conservatives also constantly fuck with the voting system.

    “Liberal capitalism” is a redundant phrase.

    Theoretically, there’s institutions to stop the president to fuck all. The president of a private company (i mean a not public traded company) can do whatever the fuck he wants.

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.
