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.

Leftists really need to drop the "Holier than thou" ego. Like many social-democrats have their political worldview specifically because they are/have vulnerable people in their life.
Like I want stronger, higher societal floors built from recycled pieces of ceiling. I want a society that is built to support people from the bottom not control people from the top. I don't want my standard of living to be held up by the backs of other people sacrificing their lives, domestic or abroad.
Everyone trying to divide voters left of center are either misguided or misguiding.
More than voting matters. Im not sure viting does.
Yeah, if you don't do it it doesn't work, duh.
But if you can get enough power to do whatever you mean by more, you can just use it to elect whomever you want, and if you can't do even that, than you don't have any power.
All this talks about "stop voting better do my version of firebombing wallmart" just reveals that you want to do your version of firebombing wallmart and don't actually want meaningful changes politically
I dont think anyone suould be invested with that kind of power, and compromising on that seems to always end in epic ratfuck or betrayal that feels like straight up diablous ex machina. If you remember that time we elected a charismatic community organizer from w rough neighborhood, the time we elected the kinda tech literate environmentalist former vp, or the various sanders campaigns here in the states.
Concentration of power always leads to disasters, that's absolutely true
