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

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

If cops actually cared about the safety of those they were sworn to protect, they would turn their weapons against the greater enemy. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Thats interesting, I read quite some history on governments. I must admit that I mostly focused on Europe and Asia, since that were the places that were of most interest to me.

In these texts it was from the militia it usually evolved into guards (not a quote)

Although it does seem quite logical for the first policeesque system to be mostly for catching slaves, I do think(mostly guess) that most if not all slave holding societies already had a government system and with that guards.

In any way, if you would have some literature for me about that, do share it please!
