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.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
More important than opposition to the current system is the prefiguration of an anarchic one. So much online discourse is about attacking, a lot less is about building. I drew this to remind myself and others that confronting the state is only a part of the puzzle and building new systems without it is also important.

Possessions will still exist. Divorcing couples need to divide stuff too, not just money.
There's also the whole thing about the custody of children... What happens when a father decides the judge (or whomever makes the ruling in your utopia) is wrong about giving full custody of a child to the mother, and decides to take the child (something that already happens all of the time in the US and elsewhere) and disappear?
Does the mom just throw her hands up and say, "oh well. Guess I'll have to make another"?
Does the father get to keep the child simply because he's the bigger (like physically bigger) person of the two, and can physically prevent the mother from seeing the child?
Violence (either the implied threat, or literal straight up violence) is ultimately the only thing keeping any sort of contractual law from completely disintegrating.
The best solution we've found so far is a social contract where everyone agrees to cede some of their freedom in return for security and stability. We allow "the state" to have a monopoly on violence.
It's obviously far from perfect, but as long as you have an educated and informed public, it's possible (yet very difficult) to maintain.
When you take that away, you end up with feudalism.
None of these is about "contracts" but about crime. you're just unfamiliar with how anarchists would deal with it, but I assure you, we've thought about it. Go educate yourself on the anarchist FAQ or something and once again, check the sidebar. This is not the space for Marxist debate pervertry.
Divorce and custody of children is crime? Huh.
I don't need to read a sidebar, I've read plenty of books by anarchist thinkers.
