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!

To be fair, consumption in the global north will radically change as we transition to socialism. So much of modern global north consumption depends on imperialism and neocolonialism, and getting rid of those means we need to re-industrialize and essentially pay global reparations, to help develop the world more equitably. Initially, this might manifest in better social safety nets but fewer consumerist treats.
