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.

depends on how long you can wait
Do you folks think that capitalism no matter its form will always eventually lead to neoliberal policy that will erode democracy?
This is a genuine question, I'm still trying to figure out where I land on everything.
Yes. I'm sure there are many reasons why, but one I've been thinking about recently is the idea of ownership. When capital is the only idea of ownership, that's a problem. Labour is just as, or more important, and people doing the work should have a say in things. We still need capital (ie. things) but just because you own a building doesn't mean you should get to dictate everything that happens with a venture. Collective ownership of capital and labour seems a good system. I don't necessarily mean that the government owns things, but rather groups of people owning the buildings, machines, etc. More of a cooperative structure. Just something to prevent a single person owning everything, dictating to the workers, and using the resulting capital + labour to buy and own even more things... Leading to what we are all living through now.
Capitalism isn't sustainable long term. It's amazing we've gotten this far, but if you look at the results on our environment and society, it's not a great path we're on.
i'd like to see if this actually changes with other economic systems or whether it's a generic flaw in the human condition
