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

Ill take pride in my country once it's a country worth being proud of. The mass shootings, the increasing sales of large trucks and SUV's and the resulting increase in pedestrian deaths, repeal of Roe v Wade, abandoned minimum wage, collective bargaining bans, rampant corporate landlords. We're so fuckin poised to be a renewable energy leader but we still have legalized bribery from fossil fuel companies. I have nothing but shame for where I was born.
i consider myself fortunate to be a citizen of a country where i can be a part of making a country worth being proud of. i might just be one person, but i've met plenty of people from other countries who don't have an option of having a say in how to make their country something to be proud of. i feel like americans or anyone for that matter only see things as they currently are instead of seeing their own personal impact on the potential at making it better.
