/r/Labour
A subreddit for the Left of the UK Labour Party (Momentum/LLA/Socialist Appeal/LRC/etc), the wider Labour/Union movement, and Socialism within the UK, including other socialist parties.
Welcome to the UK Labour Left subreddit!
Our community focus is the Labour Left (Momentum, LLA, Socialist Appeal, LRC, etc) but we welcome all supporters and members of the UK Labour Party and those interested in the Labour movement and socialism in the UK, including from other socialist parties that have similar objectives.
This sub supports open discussion of the Labour party among the left including views that are critical of Labour when it veers away from socialist principles.
We are a subreddit run by Labour party members but we do not have an official association with the party.
We welcome contributions from the wider political spectrum but we expect polite and constructive dialogue. Random left-bashing and attempts to sabotage/troll/disrupt will not be allowed.
We are committed to non-censorship and democratic moderation/control (no tyrants) to as great a degree as possible while maintaining a civil and productive forum for our regular subscribers and contributors.
Rules:
1. No racism, xenophobia or bigotry
Bigotry and intolerance of any kind will not be tolerated in this subreddit under any circumstances
2. No Brigading
Users coming here or inciting others to attack this subreddit and brigade posts/comments from another subreddit will be banned.
3. No trolling or harassment
Repeated use of personal insults, aggressive language toward, trolling or harassment of individual users is not acceptable. If you support another party or hold views incompatible with the socialist and Labour movement tradition of the Labour party please remember to be respectful to those that do support the party in this way.
4. Left Unity
Lets focus on moving the Overton Window leftwards and fight among ourselves after. There are plenty of other subreddits for leftist infighting. Good faith discussion/disagreement is fine, just be aware that mods have discretion to remove comments if we feel the conversation is drifting towards sectarianism.
Criticism of other leftist ideologies should be constructive, evidence-based and from a left-wing perspective.
We do not feel the need for any additional formal rules, we simply ask our users to engage in mature, civilised debate.
