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.
-
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.

The human face needs to come from an actual human and be stretched with spikes poking through, but otherwise i agree.
“Sustainable Capitalism” , good Orwellian oxymoron!
Whats next, “Gentle Fascism”?
Because other systems are much more sustainable. Just ask folks in Norilsk. Or Lake Karachay. Or pripyat. Or the Aral sea. Or...
Ah yes, the only possible systems are Capitalism and the Soviet Union, which in practice was basically state Capitalism.
We have China, want to talk about that? Cuba? Oh, oh... North Korea??
…. Yeah, state capitalism.
You’re not gonna tell me countries with billionaires, capital accumulation, market logic, are communist?
The main exception is north korea but that’s just a totalitarian planned economy.
Cuba is capitalist? The things I learn on lemmy... Someone should let the Americans know!
Cuba has corporations, billionaires, and “free” (neoliberal) trade.
Just because they fly a red flag and call themselves communist doesn’t make them such.
Gotcha.
Your point isn't that the PRC is good for the environment?
China is pretty capitalist and incredibly environmentally destructive.
Huge amounts of waste incineration for the huge amounts of waste. . Restaurants will serve you in disposable plastic tubs with one use chopsticks, wrapped in plastic, because:
- It powers the economy, and gotta chase those GDP numbers.
- It's convenient, and is the PRC loves convenience over life more than an ironic stage persona of Jello Biafra.
Anarcho-capitalism .......aka edgy libertarian.
I hate that “Libertarianism” in US-english means those “free” market dumbasses.
It actually meant anarchist (anti-capitalist) originally and was a euphemism for anarchist when it was banned to be one. It still means that in French generally.
Didnt used to! Was an active propaganda campaign.
I mean, it's not atypical for Americans to completely redefine a political definition so badly it loses all meaning. Just look at how most of us define our "leftist" leadership.....
“liberal” meaning left is a decent example as well.
Yeah.... Our education system isn't big on political history, or really history in general.
Idk I went to a public HS and we had a good coverage of the gilded age. Reflecting on that as I got older is a big part of why I moved away from thinking capitalism is good.
yall seem to learn plenty about the glorious colonialists who brought civilisation (/s)
When you do it it's tyranny....when we do its democracy manifesting freedoms. You see the difference? Your soldiers had kings, our soldiers have burger king, it's eloquently simple when you think about it.
I mean, we have a political party called the "Republicans" and they're really obsessed with giving their head honcho king-like authority. Everything over here makes no sense.
Not anarchism but freedom of authority
Anarcho-liberalism

Anarcho monarchism is something people youve heard of genuinely believe in.
It does require believing in magic.
Sustainable capitalism = a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
"crony capitalism" 😂
state capitalism too
