I realize most people who would visit 196 certainly know this, but I still feel compelled to point out that anarchism is entirely incompatible with capitalism.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 70 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Then explain why the chad in this meme is on the side of the capitalism

You can’t, and your argument lays in shambles

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 81 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Then I'm left with no choice but to depict myself as the gigachad

I was hoping to avoid such extreme measures

Is that how you spell that? Jesus I'm stupid

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 16 points 9 months ago

“Renege” is the correct spelling in english - I’m just bilingual and confused.

[–] stratosfear@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 9 months ago

No, it's not (remove the i)

What is the 196 sub? Why is the bad guy depicted as a Chad?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What is the 196 sub?

Shitposting community that is expressly LGBT+ affirming and trends leftist (see stickied posts, for example)

Why is the bad guy depicted as a Chad?

Good question lol. Maybe because the person who doesn't look like a male stereotype is the reasonable person in this post?

Do we get a poem?

Although I'm just a cheap knockoff, here you go:

Festive nowadays

A day, tiny chad screeches

Beyond the sausage

Thank you!

I'm just a cheap knockoff

I refuse to accept this

That's a lovely haiku. Don't sell yourself short.

Technically, anarchism is incompatible with communism, fascism, and socialism, as all of those require the state to exist in some way if undertaken at the national scale.

Anarcho-capitalism makes the most sense of them all. Just say you don't want a state to exist at all because you want to suck some robber baron/warlord's cock.

Which do you not understand: anarchism or communism? Communism is a stateless, classless society. It does not require a state, and it is perfectly compatible with anarchism. In fact, within any form of anarchism you'd find communism.

Anarchism is no state and no hierarchies. In any form, it seeks horizontality and mutual aid. It is absolutely unhinged to think that's compatible in any way with capitalism.

Jfc the media has really succeeded in deluding people about what anarchism is, haven't they? The surprising thing is I'd expect that on, say, Facebook or 4chan or Stormfront, but I thought 196 was more ... leftist

[–] pthaloblue@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ancaps and tankies are everywhere these days. No good place for an old fashioned ancom anymore.

Then again, same as it ever was.

People grossly misunderstanding both anarchism and communism: nothing new under the sun lol

Communism is a stateless, moneyless, classless society. In what way is that incompatible with anarchism, the ideology based on the elimination of heirarchy (the state)?

Are Ancaps aware they could just...suck a dick without the rest right? I mean if dick in mouth is the endgame they could just get right to it.

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

A state, according to the average anarchist, is a society ruled by rulers who make decisions for you.

Resource distribution and factory management could absolutely be planned without a central planner under socialism/communism/whatever. Capitalism, on the other hand, needs bosses and police officers that protect the boss's property. Fascism doesn't require an explanation IMO.

Anarchism is incompatible with anarchism. It will exist until some group or some groups take power and finish anarchism

Power vacuum inevitable leads to people trying to fill this vacuum

Has any online leftist ever talked to an ancap? It's not that they suppirt oppression outright, just that they don't care if it doesn't affect them. That's why their ideology makes sense: they don't consider that they'd be the proles, they'd be the capitalists.

Coincidentally, that's why most authoritarians support their brand of oppression: in their specific genre, they're the winners and the losers can go fuck themselves. And no, they don't consider that they're just paving the way to their ineviable overthrow

Milei, the "anarcho-capitalist" president of Argentina, is now trying to outlaw abortion. This guy is pretty much against certain civil liberties.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

Their arguments don't make sense until they successfully redefine every term they use, like Anarchism, hierarchy, consent, and more.

ancaps are just libertarians that live with their parents and libertarians are just republicans that like weed

Regarding the Chad as Anarcho-Capitalist convo: I think we maybe shouldn't credit value to character archetypes rather than to logic and principles.

No one's actually a complete Chad IRL. Some look the part. Some look the part and walk the walk some, but plenty are still true believers of white power. Some look the part but are really Gaston, or ready to go Joffrey at a moment's notice.

Others of us don't look Chad at all, and may look doomer, or sad girl (or whoever she is. Maybe Female Of The Species) and still have a point or legitimate grievance.

What others classify you as doesn't make you or your feelings less valid. These archetypes are observer's perspectives of instances. Moments. They're not a complete picture of what is happening.

And being or becomming Chad (or Neitzsche's ubermensch) is not in having perfect positions all the time, but being willing to err and learn from our mistakes. IRL, its a process, and even Christian nationalist Chad can learn, recover, and walk an enlightened path. Chad is a process. And 72% Chad is still pretty Chad.
