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.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

Brit here, and I don't know which statues you mean are being displayed in a garden but yeah you could well be right.
There was famously the statue of Edward Colston, a slave trader, in Bristol. In 2020 the statue was toppled by some protestors. The statue is now in a museum. The people who toppled it were tried in a court for criminal damage, but they were found not guilty by a jury who I guess were sympathetic to the defendants.
