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.

Food should not be a commodity
Would you prefer it was a luxury?
plant-based, sure.
So we could make value for shareholders
The shareholders disagree. And their opinion is the only one that matters
For profit. Who cares about people?
That is kind of what civilization was built for, yeah. Slavery, consolidation of power, etc aren't new.
Food, shelter and warmth are the only things we need. And we have more than enough for every single person on earth. Boy oh boy did we ever reveal our shortcomings as a race. Even barn rats look out for each other.
Water.
Yeah and water might soon become the one thing we don't have enough of

when you read/listen/watch about inventors from the industrialisation period, they were often—if not always—motivated by profit and not philanthropy.
was "civilisation" ever a goal or just something that happened? A hypocrite idea of moral progression?

It already is, dumbass.
Note: It's a right in the sense of "it should be available to buy", but not "you can get it for free"-kind-of-right.
Uhh it starts with I can't believe anyone would think implying there are a lot of people who don't think it is a right. Your or the UN's declaration that it is right means nothing if people don't agree to it. Besides, the devil is always in the details.

A right can be positive or negative. Saying you have the right to buy food without money is pointless. A positive right would mean someone would need to provide you that food if you can't afford it. What type of right and is it provided if needed is the crux of the issue.
