Leftism
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!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Noone fights against leftists more than other leftists, not even fascists.
Is it time to split? The leftist community can't coexist with the community of leftists after all, they have too fundamental differences. To not speak of the left vs sinister vs vänster divides
No. Clearly, you're supposed to stick around and yell at people for their beliefs that are close to yours but not quite the same, belittle them, and generally be unpleasant. You get bonus points for ad hominems, ignoring context, and interpreting ambiguous things in a manner as detrimental to civil conversation as possible. /s
Really though, stick around, be civil, agree on things, disagree on others and strive to advance your understanding of personal philosophy and help yourself and others grow.
We have a board game here in Sweden that makes fun of left parties and their tendencies to split over minor issues. It was a huge problem for left parties. It's a rough race for "purity" I guess but keeps the parties small and makes it hard to get any kind of democratic impact when a party divides as soon as it reaches a critical mass. Nowadays most left parties are pretty stable but have deeply entrenched factions inside instead that sometimes focuses more on minutiae (?) rather than unity for the sake of the larger questions and policies.

I guess I should have put an /s on my post :)
Leftists and fascists are natural enemies, like leftists and neo libs, or leftists and other leftists. Damn leftists ruined leftism
