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!

It is meaningless to assert as an objective simply creating a society that is "better".

Further, not all leftists defend land commodification.

Not all leftists defend markets.

Not all leftists defend money.

Not all leftists defend the state.

Final objectives are less valuable than criticism of structure and strategies for transformation.

As I have suggested, by my own characterization at least, the entry point for leftism is criticism of the class structure of society, embodied in the social construct of private property, that is, particular resources or assets being utilized socially but controlled privately.

Can you answer my question or not?

The topic of discussion is Georgism, and its relation to leftism.

I did address the general sense of your question, in relation to such a context.

Would you explain why such a contribution seems to you as inadequate?
