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.

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.

not disagreeing with your point but just wanted to bring attention to this..
the overproduction of food (beef, pork, alfalfa, tree nuts, mono cultures in general) is precisely what's driving multi-crises and mass extinction.
yes, there's a lot of food, which capitalists then commodify and export globally for their own enrichment. workers don't own the means of food production and food distribution, as you point out, is managed poorly (or not managed at all).
but at what cost? topsoil degradation. dependency on fertilizers. river and streams becoming irreversiblly polluted. overfishing the oceans. insects and birds going extinct at accelerated rates. loss of biodiversity. unfathomable levels of carbon emissions. worker exploitation. growing inequality.
the agricultural industry is pretty fucking evil. we shouldn't be talking about food production as some great untapped resource when it's literally contributing to ecocide and climate catastrophy.
we have to change how food is produced to actually be less productive because modern agricultural practices are killing the planet and contributing to the immiseration of the 99%.
reducing the production levels would reduce the amount of food, which in turn reduces the size of the population that can be supported.
to be clear; human lives are not a virus, people are not problematic. modern food production methods are problematic though and changing them should be a parallel goal to reducing world hunger.
