I'm always hesitant to use that label because to the average American I'm far left, but to the average leftist I'm a moderate.

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.

MODERATORS
It's like it's relative to an ever moving goal post.
Would extremists even be able to identify the people in the middle?
Republicans describing Democrats as "far left extremists" suggests not.
depends on they actually believe it or if it's a convenient lie that fits their narrative. I think it's both, so yeah, what you said.
From what I've seen, leftists can. There hasn't been a visibly strong far-left movement in the US for a while though, so most people think people just slightly left of the democrats are far-left —and the media is partially responsible for this representation.
There is a large difference between moderates, regular republican voters, and vocal neo-nazis. I think the left side is probably slightly more blurry, because it's largely down to what methods you agree are appropriate, while largely the end goals desired are similar.
I know it wouldn’t work with the format, but fml I cannot upvote because they are the wrong way around
Yea, whether the Lefty be Marxist, Anarchist, etc. no Lefty I have met has shied away from that label. Fascists love veiling themselves, however.
Which is weird, because I'll regularly see two liberals screaming "Tankie!" at one another absolutely credulously
Fair, lol. Liberals learning the word "tankie" has been quite silly.
Lefties usually want to eat the rich... not many people are considered rich. They want to give.
Nazis/Altright want to have slaves to fuck/kill/exploit. They want to take. Just look at the child fucking Trump.
I will hide the fact I'm a leftist when speaking to someone about leftist beliefs. That word has become such a dirty word in the media that you can see people shut down when you lead with that.
