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

yep, and i gladly made the person a moderator.
Can you give me some insight into your dislike for Marxist Leninist? To me, their ideology seems well thought out, if a bit misguided. What political economy would you like to see?
Staunch anti authoratarian values, i repsect some of their theory, but i find their ideas incorrect and unethical.
I’m an anarchist, I think. It changes as I learn. But the world I want seems unimaginable. I’m not authoritarian at all. I don’t agree with a lot of what Lenin, or Stalin did. But the way I see it, ML’s are useful for me to achieve my goals. Because they have framework, people gravitate to that. All I can reference is Spain. And that lasted, what, 2 years. Lenin would have had me jailed or killed.
you know about the zapatistsas? they are a left libertarian group that has successfully governed a region for two decades.
I just read about them. There’s so much to learn, it’s daunting. They seem based. Thanks
yeah, they are one of the best examples of socialism in practice.
