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.

At most, only one order of magnitude greater seems fair. Nobody's job is a billion times as hard as any job.
I would give 1000 hours of my time to a surgeon if it meant they saved the life of my partner. I don't care if it only took them 60 seconds.
Some things are far, far more valuable than a single extra 0.
I mean, ideally there's a hospital where lots of doctors work and provide their labour at an equitable rate based on reality, rather than a situation tailored for high stakes. But I get the sentiment.
Yes, true. I don't support Billionaires or the idea that different people in different jobs don't work hard in their own way, or that management should make so much more money than everyone else. I just think some people should get gross pay, or danger pay, etc. I've had rough days at work but I've never had to insert a catheter or wipe a patient's ass.
In our hypothetical world we're envisioning here, I think a flat multiple would be inducement enough for some. To be able to retire 3x or 4x as fast for hazardous, stressful, or highly unpleasant jobs would be very attractive for a significant amount of the population.
As for education, you could just make it so students earn for studying (rather than paying for the chance) at a low multiple, and make more skilled labour a moderate multiple.
