Leftism
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!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

The big assumption here is that whoever republicans put forward next will be better. I generally agree that we all need to vote to prevent fascism but I want to believe there is a line somewhere, cause now it feels like both parties are moving more and more right each election and sooner or later just being more left than the obvious fascist is not going to be good enough.
Already, even if we both want the left to have a unified front, the far left are splintering from the increasingly centrist Dems and the seeming only legal democratic way to convince the party to stop putting forward such centrist options is for that segment to stop voting for them.
I understand that doing that in this election has too high a risk of ending democracy altogether. I just wish I had more confidence that wouldn't also be true in 2028 and 2032 etc.
That is a system problem that requires a system solution. We won't have any options if Trump is in office again.
