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

The black panther party was the business and there needs to be serious counter fascist movements similar to these right wing militias you see constantly.
As for the shit at the end, so do most street gangs. Doing good things for you or your community does not negate the bad things. It's not some weird zero sum game. Then again this meme probably wasn't meant for me. It was meant for imaginary middle-class rich middle/old-aged white folk who don't browse Lemmy and definitely not Leftist.
Doing good things for you or your community does not negate the bad things.
Can we assess law enforcement throughout the US based on this standard? Or the states and federal government that facilitate their brutality and the prison industrial complex?
Heck, can we assess the United States, with its penchant for military adventurism by this standard?
Of course, even if it were a zero sum game, law enforcement these days causes more harm than good, and should still be abolished.
Do you think that law enforcement should be abolished entirely?
Did you just call the BPP a gang
