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!

I remember asking why one of my favorite philosophers went by G.K. Chesterton instead of just G. Chesterton. Turns out, his cousin of the same name was more popular at the time and G.K. didn't want people to confuse him with his cousin: the 1920s leader of the British Nazi party.
