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]

It's not going to happen no matter how rational it is. Capital won't allow it the system would collapse. Forget about it. It's a fantasy

Capital won’t allow it the system would collapse.

nation would thrive. System doesn't have to undergo radical changes, just defunding of its discretion. System devoted to war is undermined, but system itself isn't?

If you mean, system's only perference/need is corruption, then ok. But why would you vote for that if there is an alternative?

Democracy is a genuine vector for non corrupt government. It needs to be based on UBI to not be a vector to empower "usual corruption", or election winners.

Sorry but you don't understand Capitalism

I've read Adam Smith, and I understand capitalism = supremacy of capital modern meaning. The fact that zionist warmonger first rule happens in US, doesn't mean it is impossible to run a low funded campaign where zionists are dispossessed of all wealth and citizenship. Or those contributing to campaigns for those who pledge loyalty to Israel. Democracy is a means for change, so long as you disregard media.

Adam Smith isn't nearly enough. Read Marx. Read Kropotkin .

You can't achieve ubi. Ever. Think about this for just 2 seconds. There's no pathway to it. You can't vote this shit in.

Capital might allow UBI below subsistence, and this very well could happen to stave off crisis. It just can't be high enough that people aren't incentivized to sell their labor power (be a wage-slave). This is arguably what minimum wage and tax credits already are.

That's not ubi then. That's just food vouchers
