Flippanarchy
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.

Just because some people cannot image alternative pathways to reach a goal, it doesnt mean its impossible. But I would agree that current global production lines are incompatible with anarchism, as they use local / regional circunstances to maximize their exploitation through ressource extraction, low wages, lower safety regulations etc.
Managers, CEOs, states, colonialism, patriarchy and more hierarchical institutions are needed to protect this exploitation, to justify it and to further it through violence.
I dont really care about the ability to produce billions of smartphones yearly and I am sure a reduction of PCB production would be manageable for an anarchist society. But medicine should be way more accessible globally, so I think anarchists should have some answers ready. One I can think of is the end of medicine patents. Other answers were mentioned in this Lemmy thread Medicine production in an anarchist society
Being able to make enough mobiles for everyone around the world would be significant if we are trying to go for implementing an anarchist model of society globally (or it's just not viable).
I'll check out the link.
There are probably already enough smart phones in existense for every person on the planet. And I really dont think snartphones are a necessary component of enabling anarchism, but its also not really anything bad to have them, IF we can source them and their parts without further hurting the earth via extraction. I think the current style of yearly new models and the goal of rapid improvement of capabilities is something that an anarchist society would question and probably end.
The chips themselves would suffice. Check out collapse OS.
