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

I have reviewed the comments text and vote counts.
I feel alarmed by the doubts and animus targeting a post that simply seeks support for the cause of Palestinian liberation.
Currently, the Palestinian people are being murdered by a genocidal apartheid state. The fascistic leaders of the state have boasted about their intention to inflict the genocide. They have consistently made racist characterizations and lied to cover war crimes.
Israel is actively perpetrating genocide against the Palestinian people.
Such are facts, and any condemnation for Hamas cannot justify support for Israel, or its genocide, or its occupation, nor can it invalidate the legitimate and essential demand for Palestinian liberation.
I cannot respect any participation in a leftist space that is tepid in condemnation of Israel, a genocidal apartheid state under fascistic leadership.
I cannot influence how people vote on posts, and per my mod application I'm generally only available to perform mod duties in the evenings. This post isn't just visible to [email protected], the entire fediverse can see, vote, and comment. I'm doing my best as a single steward of the community. I'm sorry if slower moderation in a low activity community is degrading your participation.
