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 [email protected]

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.
ID: 4 panels:
A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."
Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"
She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"
Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.

Dont forget that women did not get the right to vote until after the Suffragette bombing and arson campaign
Yes! One of many many such examples (from fighting back against white supremacy and patriarchy, to workers rights), and one that especially demonstrates how even when we fight back, we're given just enough to pacify us for it (equal voting rights are important, not minimising that, even though to start with it was only for rich white women, but either way, to get the opportunity to participate in a rigged piece of theatre that was designed to make the working class feel like we have a say, still isn't giving anyone any real power over society and how its works. We're still fighting for basic equality ffs).
(E: that is to say, it works, but we need to keep the fight going, rather than allow ourselves to be manipulated by the establishment in to accepting less than what we're fighting for, as a "compromise" where they get to keep their power, and some of us get to suffer tiny bit less)
