How? Did the “inventor” just slam 2 words into each other and called it a day? Just how?

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.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

I mean theres also anarcho-totalitarianism so yeah 🤷
My favorite example of anarcho-bullshittism is anarcho-monarchism, the most famous proponent of which was J. R. R. Tolkien. No, really.
To me that reads as a guy (Tolkien) coming to grips with reality about a handful of things but then stopping short. Wishing to retreat, really, to a "simpler" time, from his perspective (read: lib shit, tbh). His "anarchism" seems real, in that he sees clearly the fundamental issue with humans operating in a deeply articulated government structure - those who see it as a game, game it well.
Not exactly defending the guy, I don't actually know him lol, but there wasn't much "and that's why monarchy should be preferred", I was kinda looking to see what he'd say there. Seemed more just "and people doing more of their own governance happened and was clearly better under a smaller "state". Like a good old fashioned monarchy, I liked that better and not just me, wasn't that better? record-scratch-noise"
So I guess on balance I read "anarcho-lib-shit" over "anarcho-monarchism" overall lol 🤷♂️
[Edit to add - thanks for the share, not grumping at ya, just enjoying what ya shared]
In other words, what was Aragorn's tax policy? Tolkien never says because he refuses the reality that a king needs one.
I dunno, I think he meant anarchism but with a symbolic monarch who has soft power only.
We don't have infinite monkeys writing with typewriters, but 8 billion is a lot
They have names. Select «History» to find out exactly.
The AnFash perspective does squarely lie in fascism. You don't need a monopoly on violence to have supremacy over minorities. Rightfully, the praxis should be called “decentralized fascism.” Or “DecenFash.”
i guess they have no idea about what any of those words mean 🤷
Anarchism is about removing violence from human relations. Facism is about doing violence towards other humans.
But only the humans they don't like!
Anarchism is about removing violence from human relations.
not necessarily. Did you read a little about histories of Anarchisms?
People who don’t know what words mean
This is just called a cult, most probably a death cult. Freedom to be happily exploited by a leader
The same people who chanted "Workers of the World, Unite and Fight for a White South Africa," probably.
I find drinking can get the particularly stupid creative juices flowing in ways other things can't when trying to create nonsense.
