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.

I appreciate that, but it’s redundant to the point of being unhelpful. It would be like reminding BLM that racism is bad. The very point of anarchy is to remove these social hierarchies.
“Hey there, Defund The Police forum - just to let you know that if you aren’t for police reform, you aren’t my friend!”
Like, what are we doing here?
Anarchy has to be many things and some are more often overlooked than others. Some of the replies here show exactly that pointing it out is necessary.
Having all possible aspects of anarchy combined is a rather theoretical thing IMHO. There can always be new things which are used to discriminate people for and create hierarchies around - identifying and overcoming them has to be constant anarchist praxis.
You are talking as if this post just discovered ‘Excluding Disabled People’. When discrimination arises, it does so in opposition to anarchism. Anarchy doesn’t need its terms and conditions updating. We learn how to implement it, we don’t gush over tweets that read like ‘does anyone else think being shitty to disabled people is bad or is it just me?’ That just draws anarchism into the most superficial part of the culture-war.
I genuinely apologise if I sound strangely ticked off by this, but I have an admittedly-unhealthy issue with anarchy being used as a means of scoring good-boy points on social media.
