There goes OP with his regular anti-Biden agenda posting.
Lefty Memes
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.

There goes you again insulting people trying to stop Genocide. Glad you weren't around in 1940.
"Most obvious fascist candidate in US history"
"Does not go to vote"
"Wait we can have genocide and fascism at the same time?"
What strikes me as odd is how many folks can say if you don't vote for Biden you are letting a fascist get into power.
Someone that allows a genocide to go on, literally against the whole worlds advice, thats a fascist honey. We've already let a fascist in power.
cause biden is supposed to be the police of the world, of course....
btw, politicization of a genocide attempt isn't going to win the election for trump, but it will make you hate yourself for the rest of your life.
Proceed to cause an even bigger preventable genocide…
This...anyone who thinks the alternatives will be 'better' is flat out fucking delusional.
Biden's done some pretty revolutionary (for the US) reforms, especially for workers
100% agree. Is Biden perfect? Hell no, not even close. Is he light-years better than the only other possibility? Absolutely, and we've got to make sure he wins because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
Is Biden perfect? No, he just continues to over and over again over months and months to commit genocide! He also does good things! He's getting the trains to run on time!
You think Trump will do any better?
Biden is a fucking Saint compared to Trump. You can complain about the US 2 party system all you want. But the fact remains that:
Not preventing genocide >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> not preventing genocide, actively disassembling democracy, bringing back fascism, collaborating with active war criminals like Putin, fraud, raping, xenophobia, and promoting almost all that is awful in the world.
Who are you voting for instead of biden???
the world needs more from you than just voting and stanning for the lesser evil
answer the question
why? it's pretty irrelevant to what I'm talking about. Not Trump if that's what you are wondering
It's extremely relevant, because if you remotely understand the threat trump poses, you will be supporting biden and what you're doing right now is discouraging support under the assumption the biden admin or dems in general give a shit about opinions on online, let alone lemmy.
Trumps genocide will be ten times worse than Biden’s genocide…..
What the actual frek are you saying
"Helping Israel commit genocide" has been ever US president's policy for decades at least. Deciding that suddenly this is unacceptable, but only for the left-wing candidate is sus as hell.
yes it has been every presidents policy, and it's always been unacceptable. the current crisis is particularly Bad because it has been sped up by a factor of about 100. 10000 children dead in 4 months. Biden is a monster.
We've got to make sure he stops his Genocide. Else he will lose. Michigan has already proven that and it will only get worse.
Stop being the second panel in this meme.
Proven? The uncommitted votes were 101k while Biden got 623k. The amount is substantial, but even if that entire group does not vote in 2024 Biden would still win since he had a 150k lead over Trump in 2020.
Obviously, I'm making assumptions like the same voter turnout + everyone else who voted would vote exactly the same way.
Trump had more votes than Biden in the primary. And that's not counting all the Haley voters.
It's looking more grim for Biden every day he continues his Genocide.
So who are you voting for instead???
No one. They don't even seem to be in America due to the hours they're regularly posting.
This account is just anti-Biden spam as a disenfranchisement campaign.
Let's see if the Genocide stops. Else Cornel West looks good.
Trump thanks you for your vote.
Not voting for Trump is a vote for Biden.
For a "lefty memes" community, there are sure a lot of genocide apologists in here
