#Welcome to /c/socialism
Socialism as a political system is defined by democratic and social control of the means of production by the workers for the good of the community rather than capitalist profit, based fundamentally on the abolition of private property relations.
Socialism is also a sociopolitical movement dedicated to the critique and dismantling of exploitative structures, including economic, gendered, ethnic oppression.
Socialism, as a movement, confronts these different systems of oppression as mutually conditioning, intersectional, and/or dialectically related within the current hegemonic order. It seeks to overcome oppression in a holistic manner without neglecting any particular axis so that it might be eliminated and genuine social emancipation may be realized. We recognize that Socialism cannot be achieved while structural oppression continues and workers are divided.

#Posting Guidelines
Keep meta posts constructive. Avoid shitposting. This is not a sub for sharing other users' post histories or for sharing screenshots of ridiculous things liberals say.
No linking to /c/Socialism in brigade subs or participating in subs that harass our users
/c/Socialism is a sub for socialists, and a certain level of knowledge about socialism is expected. If you are derailing discussions or promoting non-socialist positions, your comments may be removed, and you may receive a warning or a ban. If you are not a Socialist but are learning about it, be polite, or you will be banned for trolling. Low effort images: powerful expressions of socialism are always welcomed in r/socialism. Expressions may vary including pictures, cartoons, comics, illustrations, and even memes. However, those expressions which lack quality (does not clearly shows a socialistic construct), or has low-quality insights (possibly for karma and/or upvotes) may not be posted. Thus, those images that do not meet these quality standards will be removed.

Or you could just have a conversation with the human being who posted something if you have questions lol.
"This is cool! Did you make this?"
Friendly conversation ensues
Or would that interrupt scrolling?
I mean this argument stops working the second the post is made by [deleted] or made 3 1/2 years ago by someone who doesn't want to reply to such an old post. Reddit archives posts after a while and you can't comment on them either.
I believe in AI art, but it does need to be labelled as such to reduce confusion.
Art pages and subreddits also require you to state if it is digital/analog too and the community also wants that to be the case.
But this isn't an art page nor is the post trying to be art, it's agitprop. OP isn't trying to showcase their talents. There's no trickery or deception.
Requiring a disclaimer might make sense if that were the case, or if the post was difficult to distinguish from reality.
Ah. It just sounded like you are against it in general.
We agree i think
