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.

"OK so look, Capitalism is right wing.
Period.
If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.
There is no pro-capitalist Left. That's a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."
That's the really uncomfortable part about all of this, that it's Fascism plus imminent environmental collapse.
Silver lining is that they have the same solution.
News flash: most democrats are very much right-wing.
This is very stupid.
Not all capitalism is completely unrestrained.
I do love when idiots insist the world must conform to their own internal definition.
The problem is the idiots never realize you're talking about them when you say this.
Everyone is so eager to upheld their extreme positions, that the real work, that need to happen in the middle, by people that work together and are willing to compromise, never gets done.
To be honest, I stopped paying attention years ago. The negative effects of getting pissed by all that stupid shit going on far outweighs the positive change I am able to create. I can't even be sure that my point of view is right. Why even bother...
Ignorance sure can be bliss.
To people using this as a reason to not vote: It's going to be capitalism. You have a choice between free for all capitalism with fuck the environment and fuck the workers (GOP), or regulated capitalism with environmental protections and workers rights (Dems). If you don't vote or vote third party, you just voted for the free for all one.
What fucking dem party are you talking about?
I get accused of being a capitalist in this community/instance for some of the most benign and unrelated shit.
I'm not.
Who the hell is accusing you of owning capital?
Are you sure they're not accusing you of being a liberal?
Yeah yeah, we're fucked
This is why Biden was centrist at best
Biden is a right-winger. Liberalism is right-wing, and has never been anything else.
Centrism can be argued to exist, but the right wingers insist it's the "radical leftism" of social democracy.
Does anyone call Biden a social democrat?
You can't regulate or eliminate human greed ... because there will always be a highly motivated, intelligent idiot that thinks they can become King of the Universe.
We just need a way to outlaw billionaires and keep everyone under an upper ceiling of wealth.
It won't solve every problem but regulating wealth will sure allows us to deal with every other problem on the planet rather than the current state we are in.
So are we now betraying and denying our market socialist brethren?
There is no pro-capitalist Left.
Man, Americans are so confused about how political movements work and it's spreading.
They should just make up words for whatever it is they are trying to categorize, like "Snurfle" or "anti-sploosh" or whatever and let the rest of us keep talking about politics like normal people.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like everybody else doesn't have the classic "socialdemocrats aren't real leftists" nonsense, that part is pretty universal. But at least those guys over here know what the words they're using typically mean.
If you think capitalism is normal, needed, or functional, you don't know the definition of capitalism.
Uh huh, Denmark is a myth i suppose.
Telling you are US American, without saying so 💩
Denmark is literally a monarchy run by a centrist to center-right government right now.
