Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Nothing will work until people get a few basic things straight. Two simple thoughts humanity still avoids:

I want to live well
It is my responsibility to make my life well

Until each and everyone understands that and starts acting accordingly, no amount of -isms or whatnot is going to make anything better. Now, some can argue like "but today's world is much better than slavery", to which there is a simple answer:

slavery has not died yet. Oh, the language was removed from legislature of some countries? Go tell people who are enslaved (literally, like documents taken away, chains on hands etc) how good that is
more generally, exploitation is still a thing. Who cares what language it is spoken about?

So... yeah, Lenin and the gang did exactly zero things better, tons of people continued to suffer and die and there was no end to it long after Lenin died

Those two rules are purely individualistic, though. What about problems that we all need to coordinate on in order to make our lives well, like climate change?

You picked quite an easy example :)

to live well, will it be better/easier to have climate stable or to be forced to adapt to unknown future?
so let's go do something about it
