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!

I'm not interested in playing the game they made to convince me I'm well represented.

Electoralism only serves to prevent the worst-case from playing out. Actual, meaningful change happens at the grassroots level. Read, educate, unionize, organize, participate in charity, and build your community.

Actual meaningful change happens after humanity is gone. We are the problem. We can't help ourselves.

Strong disagree on that. The base determines the superstructure, which reinforces the base.
