Maybe not #anticapitalist, but #postcapitalist.

"#MarkFisher’s “#postcapitalistisland” isn’t a meticulously defined term in his work, but rather a powerful metaphor and conceptual tool he used in #CapitalistRealism (2009), to explore the possibility of imagining & creating spaces outside the logic of #capitalism.
…a zone of exception where different social relations, values, and modes of being can (temporarily) flourish."

It is a #postcapitalistisland, as #markfisher said.

The Fediverse is a "#PostCapitalistIsland".
"A Space Beyond #CapitalistRealism, as diagnosed by #MarkFisher – the pervasive belief that #capitalism is not only the dominant economic system but the only viable and imaginable one (“It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”). A “postcapitalist island” is a conceptual or physical space where this stranglehold on the imagination is suspended or broken...alternatives become thinkable and lived."

Great!
#TheFediverse is an example of #MarkFisher's #postcapitalistisland.

"#beachheads for the #imagination."
