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.

But....states DO exist, and some states are shockingly violent while others are required to exist to repel the violence of those states. When you have a war between a majorly powerful state or a superpower (America) and a much weaker global South country (Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Korea, etc), sure, you can take the stance of not supporting any state, but the weaker state are the ones in the role of defending the people of their state. Taking a neutral stance in a situation like this isn't neutral at all, it's of benefit to the stronger power.
I can say I don't support any state, but then you have France for example assassinating leaders in Africa and we can see the tangible results. Neo-colonial countries also claim to support the people of the nations they invade, and yet the results they produce always look like horror shows for those people.
