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

For more edification there's also Leeja Miller's take on Reagan ( on YouTube )
There's plenty of intersection with the listed issues, but yes Reagan was also the first of the GOP manchurian candidates meant to accellerate the cold war to move the US further towards authoritarianism and white Christian nationalism. (Look up Peaceful Coexistence or Мирное сосуществование) which Nixon brought back from China and we were considering to ease cold-war tensions. But Reagan was also a Christian eschatologist, and wanted to see the apocalypse during his presidency.
Fun drinking game, have a drink when Leeja Miller inadvertently gets to Ronald Reagan. Take another drink when Leeja goes "Of course it's fucking Ronald Reagan."
Subscriber here, Leeja is awesome!
