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.
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)
6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
- Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Rape or assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
- Zionism
- Religious fundamentalism of any kind

MODERATORS
"Hitler was a socialist! It was in the name!" "China is communist! It's in the name!" "North korea is communist! It's in the name!"
"Kamala harris is a communist! She is with the democratic party, but that does not mean she is one. 🤡" "Trumps wouldbe-assassin was not a republican. He might be registered as such, but that does not suit my agenda 🤡." "Everything i read or hear, i see as fact or not based on what helps me most 🤡"
These people are absolute fucking clowns and it's impossible to talk or argue with them because they are not grounded in reality. It is exhausting.
"Cheesecake is cake! It's in the name!"
Cheesecake is not cake? Have i been living in a lie my entire life?
It's a pie and/or tart. I'm sorry to have to tell you this and strip more of your innocence away.
When my family puts candles on one, sings "Happy Birthday" to me, and slices it up for everyone, then it's a cake.
I think you'll find there's a lot of people who are happy getting birthday pies.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
Oh yeah. Then why kamala be dum?
Stupid lib
Man, I had to check your post history to know you were messin' with me. Your conservative impression is spot on.
Could you imagine of Adolf Hitler named and said thjngs that were lies with the purpose of manipulating people and getting in power? Thankfully, we live in a timeline where he cant lie
I can't imagine being a voting-age adult and not immediately understanding that these people are full of shit? You don't even need to know what specific words mean to see what they're doing. It's so fucking dumb and childish.

Try huffing leaded car fumes for 20 years first. Then immerse yourself in Reagan-Era propaganda for the next 20. Finally, miss out on the biggest bull market in history because you put all your retirement savings in canned tuna and collectible gold coins like all your very wealthy online friends told you to.
Now you're in your late 60s, your kids and grandkids never talk to you, you're scrapping by on Social Security after five years of killer inflation, and all you can do every day is sit in a dingy suburban ranch house watching "Mexican Muslims Have Caravaned The Border And Stolen Our Jobs" every waking hour.
There's a Trump rally in town. All your friends are going. And the booze is free. Who are you voting for in November?
There is a growing populace of people who actually believe the world is flat.
I mean, it's not really growing anymore as far as I know.
Always create an in group and an out group, these labels aren't meant to be accurate for them, they don't care, they just want to have a word for those people there who we don't like and dehumanize them, if they could they'd just use the N word for everyone
