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

But you can't abolish private property. I take ergo you cannot. Private ownership is inherent to the consumption of limited resources.
Private property is a social construct, and no more.
Some societies hold the construct, others lack it.
Interaction with the natural environment requires simply agency and activity, not any particular social construct or system.
Some system of management is required for members of society to benefit collectively from the same resources, but private property is not required.
No. Sorry.
Private property is not a concept that coherently describes the behaviors of rats.
Private property is a social construct that occurs in some but not all human societies.
Modern society, organized by the capitalist mode of production, produces the class disparity through private property.
Socialists seek the abolition of private property, and thereby, the eradication of the class disparity.
Re-read my edited comment.
Sharing is a general description of a robust, essentially universal, human behavior.
As a general tendency, it also appears within the behavior of many other species.
You have been invoking unconventional terminology, and now have descended essentially into incoherence.
If dictionary terminology is unconventional then yes, we have descended into incoherence.
No.
You're babbling.
You traveled from worker exploitation to amoebas.
Your incapacity to follow a demonstrative metaphore is not an issue of my capacity.
You are obstructing the workers' struggle with dishonest obfuscation.
You believe that because your understanding of my position is incomplete and you have chosen this as the point to switch from comprehension to belligerence.
I feel the structure of my engagement was balanced and measured, as you moved from irregular terminology to outright hokem.
What do you wish to achieve, by asserting that private property is ineradicable and also observed in rats?
Who else shares such beliefs or perspective?
If you consider any of my terminology as irregular then I suggest you re-consume my existing comments with a dictionary on hand to assist your comprehension. Until you choose to meet me at a point of comprehension there is no point in further discussion, and asking disingenuous questions born of ignorance won't yield useful answers.
I consider my statements to be objective fact communicated, to the best of my ability, accurately and specifically using socially agreed upon definitions as per the dictionary, ipso facto, I would argue that everyone who cares to genuinely understand and interpret what I've stated as intended would share this perspective given the capacity to comprehend it. Just as one understands gravity to the extent of their comprehension.
