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

Banning should be determined by conduct, not political affiliation.

[–] Zstom6IP 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The rule if implemented would be conduct based.

The rule, if implemented, will cause me to unsubscribe. If you can’t handle debate, you are not a true leftist.

You are demonstrating that you believe your ideologies to be so tenuous and fragile that a carefully constructed blurb from one of these “tankies” (as you call them) could undo all of it in a split second.

Shit like this makes me want to start my own instance. Censorship is anti-labor, censorship is authoritarian, censorship of simple ideas is thought control. Be better, fellow leftists.

The way the OP is phrased is explicitly targeting a specific political position.

[–] Zstom6IP 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its just honesty about how the rules are structured.

Let's also be real: some political positions should be smothered with a steel pillow

Tolerating intolerance is a losing strategy
