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.

As an aside, I've seen this happen elsewhere as well. Classic play for wage theft. When I was working as a bartender in London to make ends meet, I had a coworker from Mexico on an expired visa. Great guy and the most hardworking. Well won't you guess it, guy got picked up by immigration authority on payday.
Hard to turn up to work when you might be sent away by doing so. I wouldn't leave until my next job was lined up or there was a union. It doesn't need to be a self damaging act to be a retaliatory act.
You also might be sent away by not showing up for work if the boss feels like sending ICE to your home.
Can we just call this what it is? Terrorism.
Or indentured servitude. Also known as slavery.
Indentured servitude has a specific definition to mean working without pay under a contract.
Don't get me wrong, this is still slavery, but we are all literal slaves to our wages in a capitalist system.
What this post is describing can better be defined as terrorism, which is the use of or threat of violence for a political or religious reason.
Since it's a combination, maybe we can come up with a new term for it, like "slave terrorism" or something.
