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

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.

The People's Front of Judea vs the Fucking Judean People's Front
Anarchists have different goals than communists and use different means/strategies to achieve those goals while using different modes of organization. Just hating capitalism is not enough of a basis to just gloss over those things.
Apart from certain instances when the goals align like antifascist action, international solidarity or support of prisoners, why would working together / doing unity actually be beneficial to achieving anarchist goals?
Many communists would be ideologically open to working with Food Not Bombs. Many anarchists would work with a communist organization to promote universal healthcare.
I don't consider myself an anarchist, but in my personal experience, I see more anarchists practicing praxis. As a noob leftist, I'm going to see who is contributing to my community and help them out.
I suppose these are the "certain instances" you mentioned, but I feel like there are enough of these to comprise all the activism I personally am capable of. I'm studying theory. I listen when people talk about goals and how to restructure society, but I'll be happy if we can pass socialized medicine in my lifetime. We can worry about "after the revolution" when we come to it.
