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

I am actually a teacher, and also autistic. Thanks for the ableism, and for reminding me that social media spaces are shit.
If you read the whole comment chain, you will see that the person I was trying to talk to was being rude. I got banned for not understanding how "conservative" Democrats are not right-wing, with the person saying I was wrong being unable to explain why.
What ableism? Your autism wasn't even mentioned. Neither was any other disability.
That's a pretty pathetic attempt at tarring and feathering someone since, much like the modlogs, it's easy to see what you're saying is nonsense.
Autist here, there was no ableism in the comment. I can understand why you were banned.
As a fellow autist, fuck you for yelling "ableism" in the face of basic criticism. You are the worst.
I admit I don't see anything above justifying it being removed or you being banned?
But you can argue that democrats are being conservative, in the way that they don't want real change.
For instance they don't want to modernize a seriously faulty democracy in USA. So they apparently don't want change in the power structure, where democrats and republicans share power.
But as with everything else in politics, it's very subjective.
Edit: IDK what happened, my post lost info somehow, so edit to restore. Probably myself using to many thumbs at once.
