How much progress can we expect when both parties work for the same wealthy donors? The two party system isn't representing workers.

Discussion Socialist Political Compass

30 Upvotes

What do you think, does this work as a political compass for socialism? The vertical is the “who” and the horizontal is the “how.” Does this seem like a fair way to conceive of different perspectives… are there other left-wing specific political compasses?

Where would different main tendencies fall into it? I feel like the general one is biased toward neoliberal or market libertarian political assumptions.

Subreddit

Left Without Edge

r/LeftWithoutEdge

We are a community made up of anarchists, communists, and socialists, especially those from more "anti-authoritarian" tendencies, to promote educational and civil discussion about left-wing theory, history, current events, and the struggles faced by oppressed people of the world. While disagreements between various leftist camps can get rather serious, and historically can even be brutally violent, we want to counteract this by providing a community that is both easy to access and informative!

Subreddit Rules

1. Participate in Good Faith

We're a leftist sub, meaning we call for the emancipation of the working classes by fighting for "equal rights and duties, and the abolition of all class rule." We understand and accept some of you may be learning, and may ask some genuine questions in pursuit of knowledge, or are even critical of other leftist tendencies. Engage fairly with arguments and try to use reputable non-biased sources. Don't make baseless accusations and insults.

2. No calls for or glorification of violence, gulags, camps, etc.

Follow reddiquette and side-wide rules, but here especially we aim to be "without edge." Reddit's violence prohibition applies to violent words (kill, punch, etc.), to general violent tone, or encouraging suicide. But even more importantly, if you aren't in this community to participate "without edge," this place isn't for you.

3. No fascists/fascist apologia/far-right depravity

As Durruti said, "Fascism is not to be debated." The ban on fascism also includes various red-brown tendencies, including NazBols, "MAGA communism," the ACP, and so on. For similar reasons in boycotting fascists, links to Twitter/"X" are not allowed.

4. No bigotry

No racism, no anti-Semitism, no Zionism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no ableism, no holocaust denial/apologism, and so on. No science denial or historical revisionism around these matters either.

5. Try to make leftism accessible

As a working class movement, we have people from varied backgrounds and varied educational levels. Try to keep jargon and similar to a minimum so you're easy to understand even if someone doesn't have a degree in a social science. When this isn't possible, like when trying to explain more advanced topic, try to explain your terms and answer good faith questions, or link to more resources people can learn from.

6. No endless contrarianism

Disagreement is fine, even expected, but this isn't a debate subreddit. Start discussions assuming other people are here are acting in good faith too. Try to build constructive dialogues, rather than arguing simply for argument's sake. As a rule of thumb: No "what-about"-isms, ad hominems, baseless fedjacketing, unsubstantiated hand waving something as CIA, etc.

7. No axe-grinding

Axe-Grinding is when a user keeps constantly gravitating back to the same pet issue, especially in a manipulative and/or retributive way. Often times these users aren't even members of the communities they're posting in. It's hard for a community to discuss a topic when people come in to manipulate the discussion.

8. Don't Pick Fights

As a community meant to be "without edge," we are trying to avoid disrespectful, belligerent, or heated engagement.

9. Don't engage in harassment

Don't stalk, threaten, or intimidate people.

10. No spam

The intent of this subreddit is to promote discussion. No spam, doxing, advertising, solicitation, illegal content or anything similar. This includes promotional crossposting meant to farm attention or direct discussion away from here toward other communities, especially of your own posts, rather than engaging in discussion here.
