There's a communist multimillionaire fomenting revolution in Atlanta. Suburban Democrats are pissed.

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

While you have a point this kind of self sabotage is why we're letting the Overton window fly right.
Accept rich people who support leftist causes. Accept wealthy politicians that support leftist causes.
Under our system single moms with 3 jobs, ex felons, underprivileged families, simply do not have the power to speak out for themselves.
Your criteria just means you'll never get help from anyone with power. You can't alienate everybody with the resources to help.
See my response to @[email protected]. I'm glad he's supporting leftist causes, but he also has some very disturbing views and is basically running a cult.
That's fair nuance, I was reacting to the sentiment generally, but you have a point with this individual.
I see the same sentiment directed towards any government official or well off supporter of socialism and to me it rhymes with "but you use iPhone!" in that it's invalid criticism as a general rule.
Your point stands in this case though, and so if anything I'm off topic.
