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

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.

A good solution fixes multiple problems, young grasshopper.
A good solution must be anchored in Reality, however.
The fact is that capitalism is not going anywhere, regardless of how many delusional commies post about it on niche social media systems.
But what if more people learn about anti-capitalist sentiment, and it begins to become more popular? I'm sure people thought the monarchy wasn't going anywhere.
Sometimes a proposed solution has to go too far to find a happy medium.
You don't have to be a communist to be anti-capitalist. Hell, some pillars of capitalism use definition-accurate practices of all this "commie shit" Americans love to rave about. Look no further than insurance and banks, both examples of large groupings of money from individuals to be allocated where needed and keeping currency as a more nebulous entity since it's not tangible to any one person. No matter the system, one will become unsustainable when pushed to the extremes like capitalism is right now, teetering on the brink of yet another collapse.
