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.

There’s no way humans didn’t have human problems. This seems like an extension of the “good ol’ days” that views the past with rose tinted glasses. There absolutely would have been theft, murder, laziness, have-nots…whatever. People are people.

Banishment, execution, murder, and theft among other things were absolutely a thing.
Good thing we've sacrificed that relative utopia to solve all those problems, eh?
Not even remotely close to a utopia, especially when compared to modern day, but I'm sure that doesn't matter to you.
A fairer society where people largely take care of one another, or a society structured primarily to extract wealth from others with all those problems...
Pointing to a description of a society that on the face of it is better than ours, and saying that they still have some of the problems that we haven't solved isn't much of a point.
They went to war and took each other as slaves.
You're just waxing poetic about things you don't really understand, and it makes you look genuinely fucking stupid.
Slaves?! The society that displaced them was at least better in that respect, right?
...right?
Fuck me, you're talking about my stupidity as you condemn them because of a series of flaws that were/are prevalent in the society that genocided them. You're a little lacking in credibility, my guy.
You claimed it was a relative utopia. I disproved that. You've doubled down.
You're just a fucking moron, eat the L.
You're calling a moron when you understand what "relative" means? Not my L to take, champ.
The positive differences have been established from the outset, you've failed to point to any negative differences - relative utopia remains accurate.
