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

They can’t maintain and hold power because it is illegitimate to the will of the people, so they will fail. If they knew this, they wouldn’t be fascist authoritarians. I.E. They are too dumb to know what they are doing will fail. Ignorance is the banality of evil.

No, do not be the ignorant one. They have jerrymandered many places to hell and they do not need to perpetually keep power to fuck things up for decades, anyways.

Or are you so naive that you think Trump's damage was over the moment he was out of office? Does stacking the supreme court not hurt everyone? Does normalizing fascistic laguage not hurt everyone?

Not everything has to be written in to law for politicians to royally fuck things up.

That's only about the US. Do you seriously think Russia or China are going to have a revolution soon?? What about all of the religious rulers in the middle east? Not all authoritarians can be removed. Your view is incredibly narrow and naive.
