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

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
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.

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.

I assume we all know that there would also be broken brains doom scrolling all day...
Hilarious how even in the context of jokes people still can't come up with criticisms of socialism that aren't already happening lmao.
I'm a socialist, just saying...
Quite literally almost everybody is whether they realize it or not. Even most "anarchists" argue for some form of socialism. Everybody wants roads and a fire department...
Anarchy requires socialism. Monpolies empower hierarchies of violence to work against humanity. As the original post suggests, humans are unable to pursue passions and a wage to live.
Socialism is not when some state does stuff, but when humans collectively own the means of production. Humans fight fires. Humans build roads. Bosses take credit.
The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin
The ideological war is easy to win.
What socialism needs is competent people getting involved locally, creating organizations, networking.
It's really not. 1/3 of people absolutely despise any form of socialism granted strictly to the people with no immediate benefit to an authority. The moderate 1/3 is just a constant roadblock to any form of progress, very receptive to regression and usually will side with the first 1/3 while complaining slightly about everything but only ever willing to condemn progressives and socialists. So we have, at best, 1/3 of people who are even willing to consider socialism enough to be able to define it.
That happens already, unfortunately.
