Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

capitalism isn't new, it's just a way of defining a system in which one group of people has things and then another group of people uses the things to provide for society. we've all been dealing with capitalism for ~16,000 years, we just haven't been using the terms of capital to understand how or why our oppressors do the things that they do.
racism, ultimately, in our current understanding of it, is much much newer than capitalism, and it was formulated as a justification for the aims of the capital holders to go out into the world and steal more capital and further entrench an economic system in which they owned everything and produced nothing.
