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 thought this was interesting, it's an overview of how an anarchist revolution would work without entrenching authoritarianism or vanguard parties.

I think unfortunately a stage of deconstruction is often needed for each individual, if any space it to open for consciousness to take hold.

thankfully my 2 years of organizing are paying off. He hasn't come out and said it, but I suspect that my CWA district organizer is also a type of anarchist. Our campaign is deeply rooted in the liberation of marginalized individuals, so people that benefit from white male patriarchy are also identifying with the struggles of marginalized people in our workplace. It's gotten me addicted to the dynamic of direct action, because seeing that uprising even in a civil manner is amazing.

We absolutely need people to acquire experience for developing resilient organization that can be generalized to other locations, and shared across broader coalitions.
