The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

I'm apparently a lib? (lemmy.ml)

So, I'm not cool with genocide. Not cool with that at all. Even if they are landlords. I'm much more in favor of reeducation centers, personally. I'm against the death penalty on moral grounds. I believe that everyone deserves a second and third chance.

With that said, economically, I consider myself to be anarcho-communist or communalist or "left-communist" or whatever the fuck you want to call it.

But apparently all of that makes me a lib, and not welcome on the left? Is that correct?

Liberalism was originally a term to mean someone supporting capitalism as the primary means of production and exchange. Marxist circles tend to use terms according to their technical capacity rather than the common vernacular. Lemmygrad is a Marxist Lemmy instance and as such, tends to hold opinions thereof.
