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 mean, I usually just ask how we protect people dependent on extremely complicated global supply chains to survive for medicine or things like glasses.
Pure anarchy can't work and is very ablest. Dgmw fuck capitalism
I can't read all the people who replied to you because my account is having federation issues but I just wanted to say anarchism probably isn't the thing you think it is. Lot of people get caught up on it as a term synonymous with "chaos and no rules".
In reality it kind of is the ideal situation for people like me because hierarchical systems tend to let us fall through the floorboards of society at best. But I like that you're at least thinking in terms of protecting different minds
No but you don't understand, there would be a person who just likes making eyeglasses who would do it for you!
And if there isn't one in your commune, or there is one, but they're mad at you? Tough shit I guess. Try not pissing people off next time.
I really don't understand where the idea that anarchism = no trade came from
Are you taking the piss? I would expect everyone on a sub this niche would know global trade is possible without direct control.
How could it possibly happen without the invisible hand of capitalism! /s
I really wish people would start marking sarcasm more better - myself included lol.
Anarchism is when nobody does anything because there's no profit motive and also we hate people with disabilities I guess.
Are you serious?
No I am not!
It can with small communities a la Hunger Games minus the killing of children and a central authority.
