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.

"But did you anarckiddies consider that if a government uses its entire military of thousands of people it defeats an organized movement of a few hundred? This proves we need Gulags and keep our "transition" state for until we run out of rulers. Checkmate!"

MAKE PARIS BIGGER
Explanation: After the failure of the French Second Empire during the Franco-Prussian War, there was considerable wartime unrest. The Second Empire was overthrown by the Third Republic, but the Third Republic did not fare much better on the battlefield. Encouraged by the weakness of the government, the working people of Paris rose up and established an anarchist commune - The Paris Commune! A secular, socialist, anarchist, and proto-feminist experiment which roused the spirits of the working class into a (mostly) functional self-organized body.
Unfortunate, the French Third Republic could not counteance radicals in their midst, and certainly not radicals who took their capital from them, brought its full force to bear, and destroyed the experiment, with thousands killed, and many extrajudicially executed. Still, we remember the Commune in this house! It lives forever in our hearts!
Title is from Louise Michel, a Communard militiawoman, very based
It was such an inspiring attempt that it changed the approach of revolutionaries for hundreds of years after.
