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

there's positives from it and negatives. stuff like large wealth inequalities can be easily fixed with progressive tax rates. it all depends on how its done

I like to link to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony_capitalism because without the people who abuse the system, it would be a lot better. We need to close these loopholes, but of course rich people have the money to keep them open or find new ones.

Removing loopholes that the cronies exploit and removing tax havens, etc (other tax loopholes) would (in my opinion) make leave us in a much better state that we currently are in.

We hate crony capitalism not just capitalism on its own I believe.

Edit: hope this isnt recycled

clears throat

Markets are not evil in and of themselves.

Concentrated capital and poor market controls lead to unfair outcomes.

Markets can be an efficient way of distributing goods, even under socialist structures.

I've never seen anyone on lemmy actually defend capitalism.
