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.

Sorry which government has proven itself at the 8 billion mark? Ah the scale arguement. Have you ever considered scale may not be a good thing? Can you think of any modern projects that required 50k people all having input into how to do it? Sounds like subtraction by addition to me. Do you think congress would be more effective with more members or less?
Maybe all those small communities vote on an issue and elect a delegate to pass on their vote to a larger body. Maybe that body also sends a delegate to a larger body. Maybe we do that across the nation. The cool thing about delegates is they only deliver your message instead of going rogue with their own. Sounds efficient to me and we get to keep our close communities.
That's called a representative democracy. You're just adding a significant amount of vertical heirarchy to it.
Delegate democracy. The delegate delivers the vote of the people they have no authority of their own. I specifically made this distinction please practice some reading comprehension.
It ends up the same either way. As you move up the chain, the chances that the delegate you're under isn't representing your sub groups best interests rises.
