An international (English speaking) communist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a Marxist perspective, regardless of specific current (as long as it is progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist).
Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Communism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Communism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, upvoting good contributions and downvoting those of low-quality!
Rules
0. Only post communist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke pic
Hiii there~ fellow revolutionary socialists! Ik, I have been putting this off for faaaar too long, but have finally got myself to open up mod applications!
Since the inception of this batch of communities, I haven't rly had the capacity to proactively moderate them as I'd like to (and still don't). My instance administrators took care of most of the reports and banning a few .world libs here and there usually did the job 😛 (luckily, Dengists and other such revisionists have thus far not rly invaded these communities as they did with Hexbear).
Thus, I'd like to request your help in taking over moderation and have come up with a vetting process to hand off virtually all day-to-day operations.
It is important to always keep in mind that societal progress is an unstoppable historical force. Setbacks of years, decades or even centuries don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Class struggle will progress as it always has since the beginning of post-tribal civilization. As the leading force of history, it will eventually sweep aside capitalism as it has done with feudalism, mercantilism and other modes of production before that.
This can only end in two ways at the injunction we are currently at: the continuation of exploitative modes of production - like capitalism and it's various derivatives - destroying the ecological base of our existence, causing us to tip over the point of no return of ecological collapse or the distruction of the exploiter classes, including their tools, and the construction of a socialist society with the goal of reaching communism.
So let us work towards making sure that the latter will come to fruition!
The irrational way of ressource allocation and oganization of production inherent in capitalism leads to wasted economic potential in pursuit of personal gain and profits, instead of democratizing the workplace, improving living standards and reducing work hours. We waste the potential found in automation on producing mostly useless things that are designed to break in a few years, while also threatening the job security of countless of working people instead of shortening the work week with same or increased pay.
