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.

Garbage collection
That's just an extension of the "who would clean the bathrooms?" "problem" (not really a serious issue just a lazy pro-capitalist-ideology rhetorical device)
Answer: The bathrooms need to be cleaned, so people would find a way to organize it being done.
Oh, just like garbage collection (and other things people don't necessarily want/love to do) happened before/outside of capitalism.
Ever met someone with autism? Them fuckers love garbage trucks
With an educational system focused on social goals rather than competitiveness, people would love to do something that positively impacts society like garbage collection or janitorial work. In fact, we can even see that in some capitalist countries where they hold socially beneficial work in high regard such as Japan
With Meth, you don't even need autism.
Loving garbage trucks is way different than genuinely enjoying being a person who collects refuse for living.
Even if society plays that they should be respected that does not automatically mean that there will be enough people who want to fill these positions.
