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 they are broken though, aren't they? Like there aren't any authors going "Oh gee, if I couldn't guarantee the rights to my works for over half a century after I dead then I'd pack in this writing lark and go and work at the widget factory".
We're talking about revolution, not evolution. Legislation, not interpretation. I'm asking if you were told to rip out the laws and start again, what would you do? Is that not a more interesting conversation than explaining to me how case law works?
I mean if you want to play "I work in IP LOL Lefty snowflake tears" then sure. Do that. Hope you have a nice time with it. Seems boring though.
Nobody is "schooling" anyone, friend. You brought up IP, I attempted to engage with you because I thought you wanted to talk about it. And now you're crying about nobody can disagree with a "highly qualified professional" and have turned a request for you to share your thoughts and experience into a confrontation.
That's literally what I've been trying to do. To get you to tell me what you think sensible policy is.
I think I'm upsetting you, so I'm going to disengage now. Hope your day gets better, mate.
