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 !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.

More important than opposition to the current system is the prefiguration of an anarchic one. So much online discourse is about attacking, a lot less is about building. I drew this to remind myself and others that confronting the state is only a part of the puzzle and building new systems without it is also important.

Build a state where you're guaranteed a life.
Everything a state guarantees they can take away. Do you want to give your life to the state?
Instead you could build a network of people, a community, to guarantee life and well-being of yourself and those around you. You don't need a state to do that. In fact believing in the state will actively hamper you as you look towards it for solutions you could make yourself.
Build a life without the state.
How?
confronting the state
How is this going?

Andrewism
I am perfectly aware of Andrewism's work - I stopped watching them (and most anarchist media) because I don't think they are actually serious about performing the real theoretical work preconfiguration would require.
Anarchist FAQ
I am perfectly aware of the Anarchist FAQ, too.
Real theoretical work is a concept I don't understand
Real theoretical work is a concept I don’t understand
A critique of hierarchy - no matter how airtight it might happen to be - is not a suitable basis for preconfiguration.
Knowing what something mustn't be is not nearly enough - one must know what something must be in order to build it.
An essential part of laying groundwork is to live the change.
And Federate!
