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 dont think you know what the word capitalism means.
Whats your definition of capitalism?
An economic system predicated on the private ownership and trade of property for the purpose of generating a profit surplus.
The graph falls apart at the loop. It neglects the existence of valuable products that come at great expense to the labourer but generates a profitable output.
Consider, for instance, coal mining. Hard to convince people to just do this for fun. But it has generated enormous profits for over a century. Same with tobacco and cotton farming.

It's an economic system based on the maximization of economic output with the surplus production industrialization allows.
Like my point is people were paying each other for labor (or enslaving people for labor) for thousands of years before capitalism existed. So yeah we don't need capitalism but we do need money which has existed for thousands of years, nothing to do with capitalism.

Using a nondeterministic graph isn't a very good way to promote an economic structure
Capitalism is just legalized exploitation of the have-nots that would be wholly illegal under a just and equitable system.
