Leftism
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

Maybe give the Party for Socialism and Liberation a look.
As a socialist I know that win in any red or hell bule states. To many ignorant people who don't know what it means. We need a party name that will draw votes in.
Yup. We need to just not include social, socialism, communism, anarchism, etc in the name. The name alone will scare people away instantly. I've gotten full on fascists (like absolutist mother fuckers, not even tankies) to agree with communist principles just by never using common left wing words
Exactly hell they take advantage of socialist programs all the time. They just freak when they hear the words because they been taught that communism and socialism are evil.
We need them to see that this isn't a fight against red vs blue. That it is a fight against the have not vs the haves.
Hell a lot of the maga crowd (and I mean the average job, not the nut jobs) truly are just angry because the American dream been taken from them and their lives suck. Unfortunately they don't understand that it's not the minorities or Democrats. But with Fox News and fear of socialism they continue to make the world worse.
We can't save them all but IF we could create a party that will grab the young and old and start taking over cities and state legislations then we can give them socialist programs that will make their lives better without ever having to tell them that it was communism or socialism that did it
Not until we take over the entire country and reform our education system only then can we start to deprogram them.
