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.

1 hour of unskilled labor* The labor value produced by an average person without special training in 1 hour.
Unskilled labor isnt a real real thing. It was created to devalue blue collar workers. A construction worker is seen as unskilled but if you were to try and build a home next to a construction worker you'd realize how much skill they have at the matter.
I'm sure the neurosurgeon can learn to lay bricks (or flip burgers, or bring food to tables, or clean floors, or operate a forklift) faster than the other people can learn to operate on brains.
Unskilled labor is a common phrase, not a literal meaning. I doesn't mean "you don't need any skills", it is about jobs where you can quickly learn the skills (usually in under 3 years).
That’s why I defined it the way I did as labor that doesn’t require training. This concept was taken straight out of Marx.
