I would also recommend https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/libertyhub And possibly https://slrpnk.net/c/anarchism

The best remedy for multipolar oligarchy is anarchy? I don't get it.

It's a bug repellent, and the bugs are fascists, so Anarchy is fascist repellent.

[–] JubilantJaguar 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is far from self-evident. Indeed there's a strong argument that, in practice, anarchy engenders fascism. But I strongly suspect that a productive debate is not possible here so that's all I have to say.

Anarchy in this case is not implying random chaos, but Anarchist political theory. Or in practical terms, how Catalonia organized during the Spanish Civil War.

If this isn't the right /c/ for this, lemme know about a better fit.

Caption:

An edit of a famous propaganda poster from 1981 which showed the global being sucked dry by two giant mosquitos at opposite poles: USA and USSR, and a spray can (anti-mosquito) with the slogan:

"FAST ACTING RELIEF FROM ANNOYING PESTS! NEW! IMPROVED! ANARCHY. Satisfaction guaranteed or your oppression back. Caution: combustible mixture, continued use may provoke authoritarian wrath. "

This edit has Putin's angry head as the red mosquito and Trump's angry head as blue mosquito, with Musk's head as satellites in between them.

maybe memes(regular, or american, or political memes) may be a bit more fitting, because only putin is directly linked to yurop it still partly fits

I'd think Trump and friends interfering in European politics and making shitty deals on behalf of Ukraine is pretty directly linked.
