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!

This will ALWAYS be the case. That's just our reality. The question then becomes, who should have the might and how should it be applied? Looking at history, giving power to the state ultimately leads to the most stability because there is no competition for power. If the state is democratic then the people get to decide when and how force should be used.
