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!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Seriously? Do you not have the ability to understand hypotheticals?
I understand what you're saying, and disagree. I didn't say that a neighbor can't do antisocial behavior. I'm saying that you should trust your neighbors until they give you a reason not to, because your neighbors are not your enemy.
Are you saying that an antisocial neighbor wouldn't be the enemy?
No.
Oh, well then. I think that's a problem.
What? If a neighbor has antisocial behavior towards you, they are an enemy. But that does not make your other neighbors enemies by default.
Jesus... finally.
A neighbor can be an enemy. Not all of your neighbors are enemies.
So you're telling me that all of this discussion has been a series of misunderstandings? Lmao
I never misunderstood my position. I don't know how else to convey the idea that some neighbors might be enemies.... yes obviously most are fine. We should give everyone the benefit of the doubt... but the economic system doesn't fix the truly demented.
