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

Being against liberalism aka capitalism, the state, markets, etc is not exclusive to tankies. If actually read the sidebar from a perspective that is informed about left wing/socialist ideologies, you should notice that tankies or atleast the opinions that make them tankies are not welcome.
And while I really dont like tankies, this is just not true in most cases.
Yeah you defend those Tankies, Mr. Definitely-Not-A-Tankie.
The thing about anti-capitalists on Lemmy is that 99% aren't against the free market system that is the definition of Capitalism. They're against USA "Capitalism." They're not in favour of worker owned means of production in a truly equal democracy that is the definition of Socialism. They're in favour of Chinese/USSR "Socialism."
That is the real crux of the issue without any masks or curtains.
It's just violent political tribalism at its core with zero positive impact from even engaging with the bad actors. They don't want to fix things, they want the other tribe to be destroyed.
Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk.
