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.

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.

ID: a drawing of a very concerned looking person, their eyes are wide, and they're holding a hand up to their mouth, it looks to be out of an old comic book, they're saying "the rich aren't your role models - they're your oppressors"
ID: photo of a black cat sat on a leopard print blanket, in front of them is an open copy of The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin
In response to @Comrade_Spood's query on pt 1 (found by complete coincidence, but had to share considering that exchange lol)
ID: "You're always writing about politics. Why don't you post cat pictures like everyone else?
Me: Okay!"
Below is a photo of a tabby cat burritoed in a bright pink blanket on a sofa, they look to be intently reading Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels The Communist Manifesto which is open in front of them.
ID: Kombucha Girl meme, at the top it says "new year's re-" then on the left, above her disgusted face, it completes to "-solutions" (resolutions), and on the right above her impressed face, with the text now glowing red, it completes to "-volutions" (revolutions)
ID: white text on a black background around a faded photo of a person with a black face scarf on and a hat that says "illegal" on it:
"But it's illegal"
"Saying that something is illegal is not an argument, it is an appeal to authority. Laws are arbitrary dictates to control a population, not universal standards of morality.

Universal Basic Income can never happen under Capitalism. It's impossible. Were it to happen, it would literally collapse the system. Unemployment and the threat of such is the engine that keeps people in the wage slavery grind. Take that away and nobody would opt to be a wage slave as opposed to just coast on UBI and enjoy life. And even if not everyone took the UBI route, the remaining workers would have so much bargaining power, they would dictate terms to the bosses, and we can't have that.
Stop thinking UBI has any chance of happening in any large scale.
