Flippanarchy
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.

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.

Healthcare is only available due to our advanced nature as a society. It shouldn't be considered a human right, it takes resources, education, and effort to achieve. It isn't necessary, though as an advanced civilization we should make an effort to keep everyone as healthy as possible; it benefits our society directly.
Safety, Freedom from harm, Freedom of expression, The right to pursue an education, all great human rights.
Insurance, or companies who hedge bets against you - collecting, and then fighting to pay out -- that should be HEAVILY regulated like the gambling industry. Sure, the odds are stacked against you - but Insurance companies should be REQUIRED BY LAW to follow doctors recommendations, whichever doctor you choose.
All the human rights you mentioned require resources and education.
I hope you get Adjusted
Imagine thinking you're sane or reasonable with this take.
Imagine coming onto an anarchist community and thinking you cooked with this take
haha, an "anarchist" who wants universal human-rights healthcare. That's a hot take.
if you had even a hint of knowledge about anarchism then you would know that it is not the same as the absence of organisation or structure.
So you're a libertarian and not an anarchist, haha
You may want to learn a little bit more of the history behind anarchism. Because you're wrong. Many facets of anarchism are exactly that.
This might come as a shock to you, but anarchism is a branch of libertarianism
Actually libertarian and anarchist were synomyms until the right coopted the term
Good point!
Really? Since you're the expert on anarchism, what anarchist theory have you read? How about historical examples to prove your point? Literally anything.
You're too lazy to read the wikipedia page yourself?
How about you pull a quote from this that proves your point? Cause I don't see shit. Meanwhile I can bring up the federation model outlined by Errico Malatesta as an example of anarchist organizing. Anarcho-syndicalism is built around unions (a form of organization). Mutual aid type of organization, and was created by anarchists.
Yeah. Duh. So fucking what?
Freckly, you entire argument reeks of cowardice.
Oh, and btw - healthcare as a right does not, in fact, prop up private health insurance. Dork. Like, literally the most logical path to healthcare as a right would be a single payer system. Which would abolish the companies gambling on my health.
It is a human right
