For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

You can not be an anarchist while supporting the hierarchical system of capitalism. Full stop.
Yes, well, you can not be an anarchist while supporting the exploitation of animals, either, but look around you.
Fuck yea, animal liberation all the way. Not sure why you're using that to defend capitalism tho. Doesn't really feel like a good faith comment to make.
What I am saying is that you are going to have to search pretty fucking hard for a "real" anarchist once you start applying the actual definition.
You're right that there is a definition of anarchism that nobody will meet, just like there's a definition of feminism or capitalism or communism that nobody will meet. Those definitions are therefore useless, but that doesn't mean anything goes.
There's a difference between self-styled 'anarchists' who name themselves after oppressive systems and consciously include oppressive tools in their proposals for change and self-styled 'anarchists' who name themselves after systems that can help empower anarchism and that try to include as little archism in their proposals for change as possible.
The anarchist movement isn't a static definition, it's a vector force pulling at present-day society. Ancaps don't pull along that vector. Non-vegan anarchocommunists do.
yes, you can. basically every anarchist who has ever lived has been ok with animal exploitation.
