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!

Socialism is merely workers owning the means of production. There is no reason you can't have local, green-style politics or market socialism.

Just don't.

Any path you follow will quickly lead to a truckload of babble about social Darwinism and other pseudoscientific dribble.

That is always the risk you run talking about politics on the Internet.

I am not explaining a risk, though, but rather behavior that has been entirely consistent from the particular participant.

There is no reason to vote down. I am trying to be helpful, by discouraging interaction with someone who repeatedly has demonstrated willful ignorance and obstructive tactics.

There is no reason to vote down.

I have no idea why you're telling me this.

I thought you may have contributed to the down votes, but in fact it also appears that I have been targeted personally by organized voting.
