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!

Very true, and those more inclined to engage should be respectful. But the refusal and shutting down of the dialogue is damaging in itself.

It turns people into lone rocky outcrops buffeted by an ocean they inevitably fall to.

Wonderful imagery. Talking about politics with your peers and creating a community of ideas is how good grassroots movements are able to take hold. The more we avoid doing that, the easier it is for fascism to thrive.
