For starters, there are only right and extreme right policies among the Dems and Reps. Secondly, there is a massive pool of disaffected voters that would vote for a lukewarm progressive like Bernie, who was projected to even steal Trump voters, because progressive policy is popular. The Dems ran rightward and lost their voters in general.

You can’t vote out fascism, fascism is Capitalism in decay and it doesn’t care about electoral politics.

I think you underestimate how many don’t vote because neither party offers them something worth voting for. A huge percentage of US Americans don’t vote, yet polling for progressive policies always polls better.

By going progressive you aren’t convincing the rare swing voter, but the massive number of disaffected voters. These aren’t far-left, but disenfranchised from the entire system.

They’d win elections more frequently, and the collapse of the US Empire would slow just a bit.

I mean, I would also say moving to .world is bad because of some bad experiences with some moderators and admins, but also because centralization should be avoided, as it gives some mods and admins more control. I’d rather see replication of communities than moving communities.

Cool? That doesn’t change that the reason you want people to move from this community to .world’s version is because you have a personal vendetta against Lemmy.ml.

They’re a moderator of an anti Lemmy.ml comm on lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Sure! Are there any that interest you? There are many genres and types.

Depends on what branch of Philosophy you follow.

What?

Ethics and legality are far from the same, or even linked.

Individually? Either try to ride with the Capitalists for as long as they last if you’re already one of them, or join the Working Class and help bring about Socialism.

Capitalism has a natural tendency to go from free competition and decentralization to centralization over time, which lowers the real rate of profit. In fighting this, Capitalists go for more centralization to raise absolute profits, which has a definite limit. This means Socialism, ie public ownership and central planning by the Working Class, is a logical step beyond Capitalism brought about by Capitalism’s very mechanisms.

I have an Introductory Reading List for Marxism if you want to read more about what you can do personally.

It’s a natural consequence of the decay of Capitalism, it will polarize and affect more and more people as time goes on.

Is that your personal ideology, or the ideology of sh.itjust.works?

Is solarpunk really an ideology? It seems more like a deliberate aesthetic choice to guide actual ideologies like Anarchism, at least from what other slrpnk.net users have explained to me. Is there actual “Solarpunk” theory that isn’t an addendum to other ideologies?

I always figured blahaj leans more Anarchist or liberal than anything, at least in my experience.

I use both Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml.

Hexbear.net is Left-Unity and anti-sectarian, there are lots of MLs and Anarchists there alike.

Lemmy.ml is admin’d by MLs, but has Anarchists in the moderators as well. Technically Lemmy.ml does not take a firm stance politically overall, but by virtue of the makeup of the moderators and admins it leans heavily socialist.

Speaking of Marxism-Leninism, I made an introductory guide to Marxism-Leninism in case anyone is interested. With the aftermath of the US election, now is a great time to begin reading theory, as it helps us analyze our current struggles and how we can move beyond them. Open for feedback!

Some instances like Hexbear.net have general megathreads where people rant under spoiler tags like this:

Lemmy isn’t pushing political content, Lemmy users tend to be very politically charged, thus the content reflects that.
