    This is unfair to snakes. They’re fascinating creatures and (aside from some invasive species) have a role in the ecosystem. Fascists are so vastly worse.

      Yeah I understand what the poster is getting at, I just wish they’d use something other than a snake which is already a much maligned animal. Bedbugs on the other hand…

      You can blame Abrahamic (and possibly more) religions for this.

      Or invite it over, as long as it’s an engineer that didn’t shoot any Jewish slaves themselves.

      That anyone can prove.

      Based on the existence of the swastika, I’m going to say some time in the early 1940s.

        there’s a “16” under the signature. that’s typically a date signifier. I’m gonna guess this is modern from 2016.

          From another reply it seems it’s a modification of a poster from 1918, so in the original under the signature is actually an 18.

            interesting, i figured it couldn’t be 1918 because the swastika wasn’t associated with facism yet, but the swastika was just added later i guess.

    Always make sure to target fascism in its nest when its still underdeveloped if possible.

      I realize the record player was a joke, but considering who most commonly flies the Gadsen flag these days I think the imagery works.

      Only if by “freedom”, you mean “Freedom to force everyone into living the way they choose”. We wouldn’t be here if the snakes MO was “Let me do what I want to do, and I’ll let you do what you want to do”

        Nah, they’re just a Kool-Aid drinker who never had the gumption to actually read people like Rothbard and Mises, or question why all these freedom lovers loved slavery so much in general.

      Any reprehensible behavior — for example “no mercy” — is justified as long as there’s a fascist around right?

      Yes

An international (English speaking) socialist 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 progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don’t forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist 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 picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility

We require alternative text (from now referred to as “alt text”) to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.

We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.

When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don’t add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here

Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven’t considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such

That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the “anti-USA” flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.

The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention “Mantic Minotaur” when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people’s/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
  • Racism
  • Sexism
  • Queerphobia
  • Ableism
  • Classism
  • Rape or assault
  • Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
  • Fascism
  • (National) chauvinism
