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.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

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.

all fun and games until you need to go to the hospital. Or get electricity. Or get bullets for self defence because there isn't a state. Or roads to travel.
sorry for the necropost, but i was browsing this community out of interest and this post stuck out as nonsensical (to me, at least, i'm ready to get corrected)
Hospitals do not need the state. In fact hospitals are probably one of institutions to collectivise, due to the level of competence needed to actively work in one. It's similar with electricity, industry and infrastructure maintenance. None of these things need the state. They are being maintained every day by the workers, the only thing the state does is look over their shoulder and give them money so they could function inside a capitalist economy. As an anarchist I reject both governmental oversight and capitalist economies. That's what this post is about. It's calling for people to start building alternatives that can function without the state.
Here are some links for further reading and watching:
soo... privatizing them, paying for life essential treatments? or is your definition of "collectivise" just your retired surgeon homie frank in his " sterile" living room? how are you gonna make new med students without state funded schools? by paying/bartering for it? that's just capitalism, and it's not going well so far
again, a bit repetitive in my arguments but "just build a community bro" isn't the right answer for most things
