Honey, new rule just dropped:
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 teach you.
This means that comments mischaracterizing anarchism, such as conflating it with anomie or even worse, fascism will be removed and the user banned (time depends on how bad faith or trollish they appear to be). Ain’t nobody got time to teach every lib in the world under every shitpost.
Likewise, if you find the memes in this comm disagreeable from a liberal or marxist perspective, realize they’re not for you. Yes, we’re going to be unapologetically anti-electoralist and anti-state-capitalist. Deal with it, or block the comm. We reserve the right to get rid of people who continuously start arguments about “lesser evils” and shit.

What a lot of these trolls don’t understand that anarchists also believe in free association. And we are choosing not to associate with them. There are communities dedicated for discussing anarchism and answering questions, if thats what they are looking for they should go there. They are the ones misusing our communities. It would be like running into a grocery store and getting pissed at the clerk cause they won’t help you do your college essay.
I will say though, I wish we quit using AI generated art. Even if just for the reason that its environmentally unfriendly.
It’s just using my pc. Generating one image like that is negligible and a lot of our workers are using renewables as well
Okay thats better. I have my gripes with AI beyond that, but nothing that really could be antithetical with anarchist beliefs. At least not with your usage of it
Mlack bloc. Fauce maise.
Text in AIgen art is wild. xD
Do we have an equivalent of r/anarchy101 to direct folks towards before giving them the boot?
Looks like [email protected] exist but appears abandoned since a year
Yeah, only 4 posts too, and an absent mod. Think it’d be worth trying to revive it? Or better to start over?
We can probably start over, but I don’t have the time to init yet another community with content.
I could start one on piefed.social, probably later this week. Or would you want it on your instance, to keep it grouped with the flippanarchy and anarchism communities? Alternatively, we could just let 101-level questions go to the anarchism community for now, as seems to be currently happening.
I think it’s ok to leave them in /c/anarchism until we get too much of it

I especially like that she’s writing on the wall above the board.
If the relevant definition of “anarchy” in use here is society without governance, is there no irony in the community rules? And if we’re incapable of having an online community without governance, how do we expect an IRL community without governance to function?
I assume sincere and polite debate is acceptable. My opinions on anarchy were greatly influenced by Larry Niven’s “Cloak of Anarchy”.
If the relevant definition of “anarchy” in use here is society without governance, is there no irony in the community rules?
Why would you even think that after I directly said ?

They also have stylized red hair coming out of the full head covering. It’s just a big ol’ mess. I won’t speak much on the fact it’s clearly a Chinese or adjacent lady because I’m sure that there places where they will wear those wraps, too, but it’s certainly an edge case for AI to go with either way.
The wraps is because I told the model to draw me a masked black bloc teacher :D
Oh my god lol
Not having a government and police doesn’t mean there aren’t rules, it means there isn’t one single governing body and enforcement team, like there is with most governments. This community having rules is very different than a government which enforces laws and spaces like this would continue to exist as they do in an anarchist society.
Fantastic rule, save everyone a lot of time and energy (not that it’ll stop them mind, but at least they’ve been warned lol)

This gave me a hearty chuckle, thanks 😂
