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.
-
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.

I can't really, because there has not been a country that had or has anarchism.
Show me an example of what anarchism proposes to do to solve the problem of crime? Not all crime stems from poverty, there are also those elements that just like to watch the world burn. Since you don't want police, great, now what do you do? Then there are people that don't want your anarchism, how do you get those in line? See where this starts to point at?
Yeah, capitalism has a shit tonne of problems. Its also the best way of generating wealth, just that right now all that wealth goes to the few rich. So put in a wealth cap! With that, you fix the basic problem with capitalism. The poorest pay no taxes, those over 1M have all their income go to taxes. You somehow got 2M? Awesome, all your income goes to taxes, plus 1M of your wealth.
Its a simple solution, definitely more simple than rebuilding all our societies from the ground up in to a system that will face its own set of problems
(or are you going to sit here and say that anarchism is problem free? come on, now...)
Of course and there never will be a 'country' with anarchism, but there are countless autonomous zones that have existed operating under anarchism. From Makhnovshchina, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, or the Zapatista territories today.
Nothing will ever 100% 'solve' crime, but we have seen how crime was or is reduced in the these communities. Police are replaced by community defence and self rule, allowing tailored local responses to uniquely local issues.
Fuck 'generating wealth', where the hell do you think that wealth is generated from? The global poor who are exploited, that's where. That's the system you want to perpetuate, one where your privileged arse gets to sit comfortably on your computer while some unlucky child slaves away in a mine or starves to death while you eat the food taken from their farms.
Youre right, its just so simple! Why hasnt anyone else thought of this? Cause its so simple that it couldnt be that people have thought of it already and it failed. Its almost like its too good to be true!
