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.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

“Sustainable Capitalism” , good Orwellian oxymoron!
Whats next, “Gentle Fascism”?
Because other systems are much more sustainable. Just ask folks in Norilsk. Or Lake Karachay. Or pripyat. Or the Aral sea. Or...
Ah yes, the only possible systems are Capitalism and the Soviet Union, which in practice was basically state Capitalism.
We have China, want to talk about that? Cuba? Oh, oh... North Korea??
Your point isn't that the PRC is good for the environment?
China is pretty capitalist and incredibly environmentally destructive.
Huge amounts of waste incineration for the huge amounts of waste. . Restaurants will serve you in disposable plastic tubs with one use chopsticks, wrapped in plastic, because:
…. Yeah, state capitalism.
You’re not gonna tell me countries with billionaires, capital accumulation, market logic, are communist?
The main exception is north korea but that’s just a totalitarian planned economy.
Cuba is capitalist? The things I learn on lemmy... Someone should let the Americans know!
Cuba has corporations, billionaires, and “free” (neoliberal) trade.
Just because they fly a red flag and call themselves communist doesn’t make them such.
Gotcha.
