There are a bunch of sicko neoliberals and insufferable redditors there, yes, but there are also some normal libs and a few comrades, and it seems like a good way to encourage lemmy generally to re-embrace leftism.
I’ve been using an alt to talk on there and it’s honestly not that bad. It’s a little bad, but not that bad. I think if we just try to patiently explain ourselves, we have a reasonable chance of reaching people and shifting the general political alignment.
Those of us who aren’t up to dealing with ghouls (I am frequently included in this group) can just stay at home here and that’s just fine.
Anyway, just an idea. I would appreciate feedback.
Instead of leaving decisions of how society builds and invests to the whims of the rich who are primarily motivated to maximize return on investments (liberalism), it is possible to engage in and win a class war to allow these decisions to be made democratically in a way that is motivated by creating a better society for those within it (socialism).
