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.

Zakat is probably the most progressive thing from within that system for its time, but note that banning interest doesn't automatically make it better in that regard โ shariah-compliant options still need to manage risk and they do that by simply charging higher upfront (compared to interest options), amongst other means.
Metaphysically, poor people have also had the religion weaponized against them by saying that they are poor because of their actions or those of their forefathers, etc, and that this is divine judgment. It was essentially used to justify the riches of the rich.
