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.

As someone who has worked in donor services, this sounds like a terrible idea. This is how we get little Johnny Turntables Jr to be in charge of all picnic tables built across the country.
Also goes hand in hand with that whole no taxation without representation thing. For examples, you can see nearly all oil rich countries where the basic citizen has to pay little or no taxes, and therefore have little say in how they are governed.
Exactly. Wealthy Romans didn't just pay taxes. Those are the citizens that had incredible political power, and probably legal impunity.
Yes they paid some tax but had an ability to harvest wealth from the underclass.
Well this is actually Greece rather than Rome, but the point still stands
