Welcome to /r/COMPLETEANARCHY, the coooooolest refuge of anarchism on reddit!
/r/COMPLETEANARCHY is a low energy circlejerk. This subreddit was designed to be a place where anarchists could circle jerk and make hilarious, relatable memes, and generally not have to deal with the shit that goes on in the rest of reddit (As well as Tankies and Liberalism). This is an anarchist sub. NOT a demsoc, socdem, liberal, communist, or leftist catch-all sub.
However, there are just a few rules. They are very simple, no:
Supporting/simping for politicians/elections.
Use of language or imagery which perpetuates any form of destructive hierarchy such as sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc. (This includes brainlet memes and the like).
Being needlessly rude or excessively arguing with other flavors of anarchism (Take it to /r/DebateAnarchism or something please). This also extends to straw-manning, arguing in bad faith, excessive agitation and toxic behavior (e.g. calling people terminally online, ad-hom attacks) toward other anarchists. We're all fellow uniques. This rule extends to liberals and tankies here to argue. This is not a debate sub.
Advocacy, sympathization with, or otherwise holding the viewpoint of any Fascist, Monarchist, Minarchist, or other Authoritarian(such as Leninist) tendency. Frozen peaches on le reddit are for liberals and fascists.
Linking to other subreddits without a no participation URL (np.reddit.com) with the intent of starting a fight or brigading. Calling for brigades is also not allowed. Also, please censor usernames in screenshots.
Authoritarian apologia. All reactionary/authoritarian promotion (Including guillotine jokes.) will not be tolerated. Promoting "Left Unity" is also considered apologia, along with minarchism (Chomsky and Bookchin are minarchists, too).
Fascists. They will be banned.
Debating anarchists. This is a meme sub for anarchists, not liberals and reactionaries. If you come here to argue, you will be muted or banned. Do not bash other legitimate anarchist ideas due to favoritism, or ideological baggage.
Fed/Snitch Jacketing - Don't accuse anyone of being a snitch or cop without strong evidence from an anarchist community or a self-admission by the person. Making a mistake based on bad evidence requires an edited comment and is a warning (and an apology will be appreciated). Violating this without evidence is a ban.
Inciting violence against a particular group of people, or particular person. No calls to violence, reddit's sitewide rules.
Ecofash and Malthusianism. Tacit approval of genocide, population control or ecoterrorism is a no-go.
Gender Critical Feminists or TERFs. Banned on sight.
Liberalism. This includes: Disrespecting and shaming anarchists for not wanting to participate in electoralism (You can vote if you want, but don't proselytize), defense of "left" or "centre-left" policies for the purpose of lesser-evilism, and support for minarchist "democracy" or "the community". Anarchism means free association.
Lazy, low-effort posts that don't contribute to memes or provoke healthy discussion, such as: meta posts from other spaces, 'X said Y about Z', 8values, anarchy-101 content, subreddit bans, subreddit drama, twitter drama, general anti-capitalist milieu that doesn't specifically relate to anarchism ("things are bad"-type posting that doesn't expand on the subject), etc.
NSFW (violence, gore, etc.) news-type content that isn't spoilered and appropriately flaired with a CW tag. Exposing the horrors of state institutional abuse and power is welcome, but not if you're not going to think of users that may have triggers.
Also, notes:
- Please for the love of The Unique use an /s to indicate sarcasm
Rule-breakers will be subject to arbitrary punishment decided upon and administered by us fascist, hypocritical mods.
More than anything, just have fun talking with your fellow uniques. It's a hard life in the alienating world of authoritarianism and capitalism and we'd like you all to have a safe place to blow off some steam and have some laughs. We also have a discord. Make sure you have a posting history on anarchist spaces. Sorry lurkers.

"In many poor countries over half the manufacturing assets are owned or controlled by foreign companies. Even in instances when the multinationals have only a minority interest, they often retain a veto control. Even when the host nation owns the enterprise in its entirety, the multinationals will enjoy benefits through their near-monopoly of technology and international marketing. Such is the case with oil, an industry in which the giant companies own only about 38 percent of the world's crude petroleum production but control almost all the refining capacity and distribution.
Given these disadvantageous trade and investment relations, Third World nations have found it expedient to borrow heavily from Western banks and from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is controlled by the United States and other Western member-nations. By the 1990s, the Third World debt was approaching $2 trillion, and unpayable sum. The greater a nation's debt, the greater the pressure to borrow still more to meet deficits – often at still higher interest rates and on tighter payment terms.
An increasingly large portion of the earnings of indebted nations goes to servicing the debt, leaving still less for domestic consumption. The debts of some nations have grown so enormous that the interest accumulates faster than payments can be met. The debt develops a self-feeding momentum of its own, consuming more and more of the debtor nation's wealth."

"I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society." - Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?
