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.

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.

It's the entire concept of "critical support," an enemy acting against a bigger enemy can be relied on with respect to their stance against said mutual enemy.

Does that not require a more indepth investigation into the motive of the country you are critically supporting, and isn't that investigation reliant on perspective?

In one perspective you could critically support Russia for inciting destructive competition between the great powers. While criticizing their motive, and means.

On the other you could critically support Ukraine for defending themselves from colonial extraction from great power. While criticizing reactionary forces within their government.

you can ask Marxists directly in their comms for more info, this is a comm for Anarchism and I don't wish to infringe on that.

Fair enough, just thought I should take the opportunity while I could. I have tried to breach this subject a couple different times in their comm, but tend to just get called a Nazi or other slurs.

Thanks for the dialogue, I appreciate it.
