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.

Not in my opinion, no. They would be subordinated to the collective as a whole rather than above it, and would be organized in a horizontal way. This would also be their sole task, so they would have no other powers.
There is a risk they could become an authoritarian force over time, so society should remain vigilant against this and remove any individuals who start to gather undue power immediately.
Ultimately if a society can learn to have every individual engaged in this anti-authoritarianism to an extent that such an organization is no longer needed, that might be ideal. We can ideate all we want but ultimately we won’t know what is most effective until we start trying these ideas out.
