Unfortunately, that's for Reddit currently. Using Lemmy over Reddit is a non-normie choice already.

Well... I think public private partnerships are the way to go with profit sharing and workers being a part of the decision making process. I also think a lot of industries should be handled by the government or have a government company that is strictly non-profit. People should also have the choice of a free Internet connection if they don't want to pay for high speeds and public transportation should be free and good. Social housing should be built in massive quantities and nimbyism should not outweigh the benefits of the people.

This is what I am talking about, actually. You're currently talking about what you want, without analysis of how to get there. That's why Marxism is incompatible with Social Democracy. Marxists don't believe you can simply vote that into existence in a system where Capitalists have.all of the power.

Taxing negative effects on people via pollution should be taxed out of existence. Natural resources should be state-owned and work for the benefit of the people. Compaign donations should be illegal and loopholes should be closed.

Lots of shoulds without discussing how to get there.

These are all policies that are Marxism inspired but they still keep the capitalist element and a market economy. I think a market economy can be good but really needs a firm hand to guide it so it doesn't fuck everything up.

It's not really Marxist inspired, though. It erases all analysis of Capitalism, all philosophical aspects, and all of the revolutionary aspects of it. Social safery nets are good, but that's not necessarily borne from Marxism. Simply thinking a market economy can be good is already far off of Marxism.

I believe that this area of policies should be explored more and instead of just saying "Marxism is best" then think about what an economy with 70%-90% collectively owned would look like.

I think this is ultimately born from a lack of engagement with Marx's works, really, though I could be wrong. What have you read from Marx?

I'm sure there's been hundreds of studies on it, but it seems so obvious to anyone who knows any history that I don't feel like looking them up.

So, vibes, again.

They usually aren't angry, in my experience.

That seems like pseudoscience to me.

It's still vibes-based, the post-office having a manage doesn't mean the system is tyrannical. How power is structured matters too.

At all, to any degree? Don't think that's possible, but it certainly happened to a far lesser extent in AES countries.

The reality is that these comments actually do work because this site is covered with bots

Is it actually? I haven't noticed that.

You may, or your instance may not be federated with them. You can browse it anonymously or make an account that is federated with them if you want to see it.

Solarpunk isn't an ideology though, it's an aesthetic that can be molded depending on the views of those using it. I never said good people can't use solarpunk to push a good message, I said there's nothing stopping people from using Solarpunk to spread a bad message.

As an in between social dem and Marxism

I think that's the source of most of your problems, really. There isn't really a coherent ideology that can be described in that manner, Marxists don't believe the state can be reformed into Socialism and Social Democrats don't think Socialism is necessary.

I feel like generally people here are pretty cool with most opinions but leans left significantly. There is still lemmy.ml, hexbear and lemmygrad that is very toxic and an echo chamber.

Pretty much every instance can be described as an "echo chamber." Lemmy.world is right-leaning and is dominated by Liberals, for example. Hexbear is anti-sectarian, meaning Marxists and Anarchists are allowed, just not liberalism. As for toxicity, I find Hexbear to be one of the least toxic, especially when compared to Lemmy.world.

All in all, Lemmyis definitely going to continue to be predominantly leftists unless instances outright defederate from Marxists, like Lemmy.world does, hence the current right-wing leaning.
