An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

I think the world should work like kindergarden. If you dont use a toy, others can take it. If you dont use a house, others can take it.
Tax for unfilled housing. The rate you pay for the tax is proportional to the amount you are asking for rent. 100% of the funds collected goes to housing assistance.
Or just have a socialist government protect the prices. That's what my country does. Landlords can't even increase the prices or kick you out. The only price changes is an "index" that changes every year to make your rent follow inflation.
There should be no profit on housing.
That probably makes it hard to do upgrades and repairs on the houses/apartments, but I'll absolutely conceed that is not as bad as the runaway housing costs in the US right now.
This is possession.
I agree. We should abolish ownership/property, and use this system of “possession”.
