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.

Is the example you're thinking of but can't post real?
When you phrase it like that I literally can't think of a single example of Capitalism that doesn't end up like the game of Monopoly...
No what I am saying is you need to relearn basic history if you think every capitalist nation has become fascist. Only two to five have depending on how you define fascism. That leaves 150 or so that haven’t.
Nah actually you need the history lesson if you still Capitalism = Mercantilism
Capitalism has existed less than 100 years
Really, capitalism started sometime after 1925? And yet Das Kapital was written about 150 years ago, building on David Ricardo’s early 19th century work and Adam Smith’s 18th century work.
Capitalism goes back at least as far as the English enclosure of the commons, which left peasants with no option but to sell their labor to burghers, AKA the bourgeoisie. The American Revolution was a bourgeois revolution[1].
Nobody asked for your revisionist history CCP bot
Go back to containment tankie scum
A Wikipedia-level understanding of the history of capitalism shows that this isn’t “revisionist history.”
I’ve been here ten times longer than you, and I don’t intend to go anywhere. In my experience people who fling insults and bot accusations everywhere they go don’t usually last very long. You’ve already managed to get yourself permabanned from several communities and at least one instance.
Find more alts to downvote me it doesn't make Capitalism and Mercantilism the same thing fascist scum.
You guys are doing a pathetic job making progress on this front. The CCP will take your organs if you don't start doing a better job.
Too bad you can't ban me from this space tankie.
