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!

If you do the math on the unimaginable scale of wealth our labour is currently producing, we actually do have enough for water AND champagne for all.

And the people with more champaign than they could ever drink restrict access to the water for the people who are dying of thirst.

Yeah but, if we don't withhold water from some, and champagne from many, we would be unable to force many to serve the few in other ways less dependent on resources.
