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

The point about achievements is very good imo.
It should be the effort you put in that is rewarded, not the outcome.
You never know how much unseen effort a person puts in every day to just get up, go to school, to work, take part in social interaction, maybe never standing out for their deeda, yet being surrounded by people praising others for visible deeds.
It's controversial since people equate the amount of work put in with the end product. There is no saying if something great worked at the first try. Yet it promotes focus on externality instead of the much more important internal workings.
I can see how someone, myself included, would feel sad when a very intense piece of work goes unrewarded. Yet I ask myself if it is a relic of our primitive past which could be socialized out like incest and cannibalism. Do we not only yearn for external gratification because we are socialized that way and because others get it as well?
Feel free to disagree. I'm thinking out loud.
