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.

A 3 panel comic titled: "Aktion Kat! in: Konspiracies!"
2 anthropomorphised cats sat on the floor next to a lava lamp, passing a joint between them.
The one on the left is sitting barefoot and cross-legged on a pillow, they have long hair, square sunglasses, ripped jeans and white vest with a big medallion around their neck.
The one on the right is Aktion Kat, sat directly on the floor. They're wearing a biker jacket that has an "A", a hammer and sickle, and a smiley face pins on it, and a hat or helmet with a big "A" at the front, and goggles. They also have big boots on, and a small bandage on their tail.
Left panel: Stoner cat, takes a puff, passes and says: "hey kat! [koff!] ya know-it's all a big evil plot. the whole system is really being kontrolled by a shadowy satanik alien kult that pulls all the strings with mind kontrol, motivated solely by their lustful kraving for human suffering...."
Middle panel: Aktion Kat, taking a puff: "isn't it easier to believe that we live in a hierarchikal global ekonomic system based on the akkumulation of wealth, in which a small group of individuals and institutions own and kontrol the majority of resources and exploit the insekurities of the lower classes to amass more kapital, maintain their power, and further their own self interest?" koff!
Right panel: Stoner cat, pointing and smiling: "what??? you really believe that? you're far out kat!"
Aktion Kat, with a black squiggle above their head, facepalming: "what a buzzkill"
*Lies spread and or cultivated by those in power with their vast media empires, grasp on the state and its educational and legal systems, and ability to keep the working class too busy grinding for survival and divided against each other to unite and utilise our collective power, of course. But still.
