Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Which is precisely why they don't. They don't exist to threaten the establishment, they are part of it, and are there to provide the illusion of choice so that the public feel like we're helping while those in power do whatever they need to at our expense to keep that power. Playing by the rules and within the systems they have set out for us can and will only ever maintain the status quo.

This makes sense if one has never been in any sort of leadership role or public-facing organization before.

It’s true in very narrow senses which are stretched to breaking because really it isn’t true.
