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.

There's also ballot initiatives for bypassing your reps and enacting laws based on the will of the people.
Only sometimes effective.
Somebody still has to enact and enforce those laws, and the local government often does that deliberately badly ... or not at all. They often find some crooked legal way to block it.
As is the direct action approach. It could run afoul of school access laws, food safety regulations, or exclusivity contracts for suppliers of current (paid) school lunches.
And a group of concerned parents vs Aramark getting their paycheck? Aramark is gonna win.
You could change that electorally through ballot measures, or competent reps on the school board, local legislatures, and judicial positions. Or you could change it through violently replacing the whole system, but just walking into a cafeteria with free food will get shut down relatively quickly.
You could do it for breakfasts and dinners though since that doesn't require cooperation with the school.
