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!

The claim of UBI leading to runaway inflation is a myth given by reactionary propaganda.

UBI would represent a major advance for the working class. Advocating against it seems impossible to reconcile with any attitude that is not accelerationist.

Much of your commentary seems to reproduce mythical tropes such as of the "welfare queen".

Seeking meaningful contribution to society is a robust human tendency. Doing so under constant threat from greedy employers is not necessary.
