Flippanarchy
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.

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.

Hospitals are probably the worst example you could pick, because their true purpose is to make sure trained, able bodied workers don't die after serious injuries or illnesses and keep the value extraction going for national or domestically located capital, which is where the profit incentive is located. It's not altruism, they have a specific function.
It gets grim and you can see this clearly when it comes to care for older people, who for example had way more deaths than younger people during covid. Their organisms are weaker, sure, but not an insignificant part of it had to do with negligence that often seemed deliberate - lots of cases from where I'm from (lost my grandma who was still relatively healthy precisely due to this), and there are many, many similar stories if you go digging for them. After all, the elderly are just a pure expense for the state who are no longer able to be used for value extraction, it makes sense.
And ofc, their purpose becomes much more apparent once you're looking at privatization.
