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.

I appreciate the sentiment, so I upvoted. Voting is integral to a liberal democracy, just start at the local level.
My thinking, being from the US personally, is if you have a solid grass roots coalition who can provide support it's a win. Getting someone elected at the top won't help if you don't have support underneath them.
"If voting worked they would make it illegal" is true, because they disenfranchise voters all the time. Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.
Citation needed.
Why? What would a citation afford you?
I want to know how you figure fake democracy substitute qualifies as "the strongest path forward to a better system."
It's our current system.
What is a stronger and more viable path forward in your opinion?
