Fine. I’ll follow your rules until the revolution.
Then. I probably won’t have internet access and be living in a cave.
But after that, yeah, after that, who am I kidding, we’re gonna be dead from climate change. /s

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

Edit: sorry, I deleted my comment right after I posted it, but after you took the time to write out your answer, I’ll try to re-write my question as best I can remember it. 😬
What will be the determination by which this rule has been violated? What I mean to say is that conversations can get pretty nuanced. What is the line? How will this rule be enforced? People can interpret this rule many ways.
fair question, imo I think it will require the context of the conversation. Say for example there's a conversation discussing Stalin's time as head of the USSR. If people are following our posting expectations and other existing rules, they should never end up giving unconditional support to that authoritarian. If a person is violating our other rules and posting expectations while also saying things like (please keep in mind this is a very simplified example) "Stalin did nothing wrong" then they'd be found in violation of this specific rule and receive a temporary ban (getting progressively longer per infraction). If a claim is made in the course of a good faith conversation that could reasonably be considered in violation, we will require reliable sources to back up the claim or remove the comment.
What a refreshing take. All the socialist and leftist subreddits have been taken over by tankies who are heavy with the ban hammer on anyone who expresses any kind of opinion that maybe we should do things differently than Stalin did.
Glad to be back on lent where it’s free.
