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 Republicans decry left-wing violence (despite the fact that Trump's shooter was a conservative), remember that the right supports and commits acts of violence far more often than the left (youtu.be)

These people have affiliation based morality, what determines if a given action was moral or not is who did it, not even in a context sense, as in literally they think child rape is completely moral if done by someone from their community and that even charity to the point of enduring asceticism to support the less fortunate is heinous because the person doing it was Wiccan.

My SO would literally be considered as bad as satan himself for working on a farming cooperative to provide fresh produce for the impoverished via a community pantry, for no reason besides she's not Christian.

The point is, we're all vile brutes for even smacking one of them, but if they commit actual prosecutable terrorism via mass killing, they'll see it as completely justified because one of the good people did it.

They literally just stole predestination from the Calvinists and slapped a warped version of the halo effect on it for good measure.

US foreign policy is the same. "We're the good guys by default."
