Leftism
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

You're treading very close to genocide denial. Be very careful in how you respond, if you even respond.
7000 civilians have been killed in less than 3 weeks. Netanyahu has given the IDF clearance to kill anyone they see on sight. They're bombing the designated refugee camp. They're bombing hospitals and ambulance convoys. They shut off the food, water, and electricity to Gaza. They have the full might of the US just off shore. But sure, Hamas is the evil threat.
You deeply ignorant about ongoing events.
Israel has denied electricity to all of Gaza, despite humanitarian pleas over patients dying in hospitals.
The earlier comment mocks condemnation against the oppression of Palestine. Especially under current circumstance, it certainly smacks extremely close to denial of genocide.
Listen.
Genocide is occurring.
Israel occupies Gaza. Israel blockades Gaza by land, sea, and air. Israel entirely controls access to Gaza. No one and nothing enters or leaves Gaza without permission by the occupation by Israel.
The closure and control of Gaza includes clean water and electricity.
Israel has denied water and electricity to all of Gaza, despite humanitarian pleas over patients dying in hospitals.
Israel has occupied the Palestinian people for three generations. Israel is an occupying power actively perpetrating genocide in Gaza.
There is no equivalence. Israel is occupier and Israel is oppressor.
Condemnation of Israel is not antisemitism, obviously.
Occupation has been ongoing for three generations.
Genocide is occurring now.
Israel has no right to exist as an apartheid genocidal state.
Israel is actively perpetrating genocide, and was created out of a campaign of ethnic cleansing, called the Nakba.
Israel is actively perpetrating genocide, and was created out of a campaign of ethnic cleansing, called the Nakba.
There is no valid perspective denying events as such.
Your objection is profoundly ignorant, and embarrassingly foolish.
The occupied territories have combined populations of about 5.3 million. The rest of the country has a population of less than 10 million. If 20% of the latter is Palestinian, there is less than one Palestinian outside the occupied territories for every two inside Gaza or the West Bank.
Israeli rights groups have documented civil rights abuses for non-Jewish citizens, and have complained about the lack of access to a secular legal framework.
Read about the Nakba.
