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.

I think my point above, to use the Scots, is that I know there are true Scots. So it makes me mad when I find false Scots that can only talk about needing to tear stuff down. Often they mean to use violence. In my life I have been cursed to see the violence that occurs in a vacuum of power. I'm also acutely aware that power can be of the people or over the people. I saw both occur naturally. A time when people came together to aid each other and disburse food and heating propane logically and a time when the next town over decided it was going to expand, no matter what their neighbors thought about it.
So I do really want an alternative to capitalist and authoritarian systems figured out at scale.
