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

A just world wouldn't require us to exert so much mental energy on securing our basic needs. It's exhausting. Just remember to step away now and then to avoid burnout
If I do that then I’m being bad and letting fascism win.
I just want one election where the fate of the world doesn’t hang in the balance.
I understand what you mean. Just remember that beating the fascists requires all of us. No single person can defeat fascism. As long as you still show up when needed, mental breaks are ok.
When do I get a break, though? Fascism is on the rise everywhere. Climate change will just make it worse. I'm going to be dealing with this shit until I die. I've taken breaks and when I start paying attention again it's just worse than before. It's like I'm the only one who read the rubric for a group project.
Where's my hammer...
Move to Australia. We vote on every'fucking'thing and its rarely end of the world type shit.
I'm thinking that's my way out. Find a country that's not an empire and move there. Then my actions won't allow a hospital to be bombed with impunity.
