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

Perpetuating their persecution fetish 😴
We get it. They're ignorant and dumb. Same vibes as the occupy wall street videos where they asked the dirtiest and least intelligent person they could find why they were protesting. This kind of content just makes me sad at this point
It keeps us divided. If we think right wingers have nothing in common with is, then we've swallowed the BS. During these interviews there are certainly some people that bring up good points that both sides do have in common, but why would the media bother showing that?
I mean it sounds like their point was content like this is divisive? Which it absolutely just is. Not everyone who tried to see things from another perspective is an "enlightened centrist." I personally don't think there is room to compromise on issues of reproductive rights and everything else you mentioned. That doesn't mean I can't think this content is pure rage-bait garbage fluff though.
If the right speaking their opinions is devisive, that's their problem, not the left's.
This is my point, thank you.
I'm no centrist. The media does a good job of keeping is all fighting about these issues, which are huge, but why do we never see any media about issues that we have in common?
My point is that we have things in common. Do you not believe that?
Taxes, that's all.
At this point the only thing we have in common is that we're all trapped in the same geographic area of the planet together.
Nobody hates them over differing opinions. It's more about the need to oppress anyone they deem as not like them and their desire to harm anyone who disagrees.
Save that both sides shit for your personal rationalizations, no one else is buying it.
Republicans win just fine without coordinating with the Democrats. We need to organize and push the democratic party to be a proper leftist party that fights for the working class, not coordinate with fascists.
