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 am yet to encounter any form of anarchy that excludes the disabled.
It doesn't have to be a conscious decision like "disabled people fuck off". It's usually doing something without thinking to whom it's accessible.
Establish your cool open for all anarchist library in a place not reachable by wheelchair? Excluding disabled people. May have an easy fix, but you gotta think that shit through, ideally before announcing how you're open for everyone. Just one example.
Most anarchists may be cool about that in theory, but reading reports from disabled anarchists, exclusionary examples are far from being the minority. Masks or filters at indoor gatherings? Alt texts? Some openly published contact where disabled people can ask about meeting their needs? Just some topics that often aren't though about at all.
Simply because you have not encountered it does not mean that it does not exist.
ETA; why are you downvoting every opinion that you do not agree with without further explanation? Your votes are public. That is worth knowing.
Every once in a while, I find "leftists" or "anarchists" who discount ableism, i.e. the oppression experienced by disabled people specifically because they are disabled. A most common example is when leftists use ableist language (e.g. the R-word) to insult enemies (instead of insulting them for the thing that they are, e.g. reactionary, ignorant, unserious, monstrous, capitalist, etc.). Class reductionism is another common way that leftists discount ableism. Class amplifies ableist oppression for sure, but winning the class war would be insufficient (but necessary!) to abolish ableist oppression.
Usually anarchists and other leftists are pretty good on ableism, but not always.
My brother is very disabled (diabetic and neuropathy to the point where he can't even hold a plate of food). The sentiment of someone like that being completely unable to contribute any kind of labor is sadly all over the place. Some, sadly, think of labor as "meaningful work" in the sense of tilling fields etc., but disabled people can very much aid in the society in terms of art, writing, or just being a joy and inspiration to those around them.
Even if someone can't "provide labour", so what? You don't need to be "useful" to have inherent worth
1,000% this.
Death to all forms of domination!
Why would I exclude the disabled?
