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.

I work with a bunch of racist, everything-phobic shitwads, but one of them I work with for the majority of my day, and he is soooooo close to understanding, so close to "getting it" but then he veers to blaming the wrong group every time.
Yeah Bro, trans kids are the reason you don't have better Healthcare.
Whenever I start saying things without using "buzzwords" we are in complete agreement. He even thinks billionaires should be eradicated. Yet somehow it's not the billionaires that cause governments to be fascist, uncaring orphan grinding machines and split the people into endless anything-but-class warfare.
He acknowledges that ACAB and the whole system is corrupt by design, but it's immigrants that are causing shootings, not incompetent, untrained goons with itchy trigger fingers happily doing the bidding of the rich and powerful.
The dilemma requires careful consideration.
On the one hand, avoiding language that triggers aversions allows us to expand class consciousness on an individual scale.
On the other hand, more freely exposing radical terms, concepts, and objectives is necessary for such aversions to become mitigated, even if only through the longer struggle, opening the range of acceptable public discourse toward our favor.
I had a friend like this, full Libertarian type. We could agree until the cows came home, but the next day he'd back to blaming his usual suspects. Drove me fucking mad, luckily I don't speak to them any more. Whatever propaganda they consume really warps their mind.
