Seize the Memes of Production
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.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

MODERATORS
Explanation: Marx, one of the foundational thinkers for modern socialist thought, has spawned a very... wide variety of claimants to his ideology and legacy.
First are socialists Kautsky and Rosa Luxemburg quarreling over whether general strikes can be used 'offensively' or only 'defensively' - with Luxemburg (rightly) finding the distinction asinine and counterproductive.
Second is Stalin, who ran a red fascist regime without any redeeming features, other than, I suppose, not being the Nazis. Small mercies?
Third, Maoist China, which hasn't had a full decade of ideological coherence since its consolidation over the mainland.
Fourth, the Shining Path in Peru, who thought that communism would totally be possible if only they killed enough fellow communists and civilians for being 'revisionist'.
Fifth is a popular online commentator, Vaush, whose opinions are... not always well-founded in leftist thinking, regardless of whether one pushes for harm reduction, and tend towards a rather lukewarm reformism.
And sixth are the online tankies we all know and love, frothing at their keyboards over how being descended from the wrong people means you are not REALLY one of the Proletariat(tm).
