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

Do they girls get paid? No. Do the nonprofit "leaders" get paid? Yep.
How is this not slavery or at least child labor?
You act like non profit means there are no profits.
My wife was a girl scout leader. She did not get paid.
Is it slavery when a kid raises money for their school marching band? Is it slave labor when a kid has a lemonade stand and donates all the money to a local charity? Is it only slave labor when kids do it or is it slave labor when an adult raises money for GLAAD with a bake sale?
Leaders of the org definitely get paid. Your wife was a scout mom, not a real leader.
Idk why you'd even lie about this but ok: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Girl-Scouts-USA-Salaries-E5458.htm
Pretending the industrial complex that is girl scout cookies just a bake sale is 100% bad faith argument here. I mean c'mon.
The gsa has 181million in assets boys and girls.
Leaders of most nonprofits get paid. Why would Girl Scouts be any different and why would most people even agree to be working for a national nonprofit at the highest level for free? That's a full-time job.
Why are you talking about slavery one minute and expecting people who lead nonprofits to work for free in another. Wouldn't that be slavery?
Also, in Girl Scout terms, she was a leader. She was a troop leader in specific.
You know I wasn't talking troop leaders nice bad faith arg.
We aren't talking about what other orgs do but as long as you brought it up name.another one that relies on unpaid child labor like this...
Oh yeah scammy candy bar companies that masquerade as fundraisers too!
Clowns.
I pity your kids.
And now since you've decided to attack my parenting as if I'm an abusive father, this conversation is over.
That was totally out of order.
