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.

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.

... y'all know there's other countries, right? And that in those countries there's cops? A lot of those cops genuinely do not carry guns, because neither does anyone else.
Police in Iceland shot a guy for the first time ever in 2013.
Even in US-adjacent Canadia, the Parliament Hill shooting saw a mountie go back to his office, retrieve a gun from a locked safe, and return to the scene to kill the shooter.
We can have police who aren't eternally three seconds away from putting a bullet in someone's brain. In what universe is that less achievable than abolishing them completely?
