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.

You have a problem with a misconception of anarchism. Anarchists believe in the importance of organisation.
You should really take a look at An Anarchist FAQ.
I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear but that's kind of my point. I'm tired of teenagers who read half of 2.4, none of 2.3, and just expect magic to happen. I know there are people trying to work on alternative structures that don't rely on exploitation but also are durable against aggressive groups that would take advantage of the lack of traditional authority. That's the hard work that needs to be done.
Well then you can talk to people who have dedicated more time to think about anarchism. Instead of engaging with people you think are below your intellectual level and condescending on them.
Let the rest of the people have constructive conversations with them and move on.
Problem. They end up in an echo chamber and they go do something stupid. Then the corporate press uses it as evidence for why we aren't allowed to have a different system.
Ah, that's on me then, I read your comment as critical of anarchism as a whole, not of "anarchists" in aesthetic only 😅
Oh that's perfectly fine. I'm a professional hair splitter and my words don't always work as well as I would like.
