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.

What if I don't believe in the inherent worth of human beings?
What if I believe some people, like Nazis, are worth less than non-Nazi human beings?
Ableism is bad. I'm just not sure that 'inherent worth of human beings' is the reason to oppose it. Some human beings, like Nazis, have qualities that legitimately reduce their worth. Other human beings, like the disabled, do not inherently have qualities that reduce their worth.
The question is less about inherent worth of human beings, and more about what qualities are legitimate to judge a human being on.
