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.

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.
ID: 4 panels:
A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."
Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"
She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"
Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.

It drives me fucking mad when people arguing for total civilian disarmament double down with "well I think the cops should be disarmed too πππ". My Sibling In Christ, what do you think is going to happen when you advocate for total disarmament of civilians and police? Civilians are going to be disarmed first, and then cops are going to be disarmed NEVER.
I know the comic isn't just about guns, but this is one instance of that larger pattern.
The comic (or this community) isn't about civilian disarmament at all
I didn't imply they were? I agree with the sentiment of the comic, and it triggered a rant about a specific instance that I've encountered.
Ah, fair enough, I misunderstood.
