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.

But it is bottom up. The feds are elected by the people, or appointed by those who were elected. Specific powers are vested in the state, county, and municipal levels. Co-equal branches were designed to prevent despotism.
The fact that it went to shit anyway proves my point. With all the democratic accountability, checks and balances, local power, it was still corrupted and twisted into authoritarian hierarchy.
I've watched plenty of videos, done plenty of reading, and what few actual structures I see presented are vulnerable to the same corrupting forces that subverted the American model.
No, it isn't.
The very concept of an elected representative who has authority over a mass of others is literally a hierarchy where the elected official gains authority over the populace.
You don't have a point that is worth a damn because your point is uneducated and misinformed.
Whatever you watched you didn't understand. You clearly do not comprehend even the fundamentals of Anarchism.
