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!

One-party autocracy is, historically, always worse for the economy than ~~democracy~~ even an oligarchy with meager democratic features.

And the Republican Party and the Heritage Foundation both tipped their hand early regarding policy.

Whether it comes down to the public of the US being ignorant, short-sighted, too racist to care or too misled, it speaks poorly not only of the US people and the human species and its capacity to organize without being overrun by corruption.

We may just be too daft to do better, and that is likely to kill is.
