Is there a single modern conservative economic policy thats not just a money funnel straight to the top? Ive been thinking for days and i cant come up with a single right wing policy thats not meant to fuck over the common worker. I can think of endless examples for left wing policies but not for the right

I mean, i know about the communist manifesto, but I'm wanting more books. I mostly want to learn more about leftist beliefs and values so I can see how much i actually agree with.

What's with their flaired-users-only rule? How is this even allowed?

I'm sorry but making a 'safe space' of this size doesn't make any sense. This literal echo chamber is causing serious damage to political discourse on this site, and in the real world too.

Even shitholes like Facebook and YouTube's algorithm at least allow intercommunication between information silos... This is so much worse.

Anyone else seeing this ? Or is it just my household

Im a Ukrainian socialist, and civil activist, engaged with labour rights for more than five years. Ask me anything.

I bought a new book and two 100 packs of stickers and they sent me so much extra, they always do 💛

I’m deeply surprised that no one in this sub is talking about this. Is there any world where the richest man on the planet taking over control of the checkbook for the US government is even slightly a good thing?!?!

I'm at my wits end with leftist streamers. Vaush is a peado, Destiny is an abuser, Hasan is a sex buyer and uncritically platforms anti-semitism.

Can anyone point me to any female or feminist leftist streamers or youtubers who post regularly? I can't deal with any more arrogant American "bros" who get off on the sound of their own voice and are immune to criticism.

This.

Hey being 19 I'm still new to politics and it seems like a real shit show, but that's besides the point.
My whole family are a mix of Democrats, Liberals, and Leftists, with my mother saying they are leftist while my father claims to have a socialist ideology.
I'm just wondering what is the difference between the four? Are they slightly different versions of the same thing or are they all completely separate political ideologies?

Also, I was banned afterward…

Hi everyone. I’ll try to keep this short & as pain free as possible. Until last year, I had no real interest in politics. Now, I feel like the balls rolling one way or another & there’s no turning back. Change is going to happen & I feel like it’s going to get worse. That being said, I would like to be more involved & engaged, but I’m still very new to all of this. It wasn’t until last night that I realized what antifa stands for & that the left has been wrongly accused of being terrorists. I know that sounds ignorant, but it is what it is. That being said, I’d like to start by educating myself. Can you recommend your top 3 documentaries, books, and political figures (past & present) that you feel really define the leftist ideology? Thank you.

I’ve been following Democratic Socialists of America for a while now. I haven’t yet signed up to be a member, though. Wondering if anyone can provide insight as to why it would or wouldn’t be a good idea to join.

Everything I've ever done's been met with resistance,

Life grabbed a strap on and fucked my existence,

I keep on persistent, but ya'all for instance,

I never lived anywhere longer than a fish did,

Misfit, tripping on some long lost hits that,

Took me to a place where dog gone crits went,

I've been local and I've gone long distance,

I stay token, I'm a fan of when the shit hits,

It's a time filled with strife, we got these unions on strike and cooperates like "take a hike"

Now I was taught to kill em with kindness,

But Luigi seemed to be the G to heat up the fire,

Plus the president is a liar,

And a rapist, insurrectionest, capitalist vampire,

Damn Tyler, you gotta hold your hands higher,

Man requires society to stand by em,

I stand by em, necessities I can't buy em,

Societies collapsing and it's time to take a stand!

Riot!

If we have to, kay?

The planet is dying and we don't have all day!

I'm here to proclaim the truths the man won't say,

They're robbing us blind because they have no shame!

They want better conditions and I'm with em, but these elephant ass bitches are hitten em with division,

Fuck em

What the difference is in the schism is they recommend that rugged individualism,

This goes beyond a bad mission,

My vision is: they won't even know what hit em,

We'll clip em off at the wings, let's bring on the cataclysm,

Fuck this shit! lets take down the whole system!

The new society won't tolerate bigots,

Stand up if you fuck with the Resistance!

Feedback is welcome.

Notice how nobody with power in the DNC seems to be addressing how wanton consumerism is part of what got us here? I've been told that there is no such thing as a corporate democrat, that only "russia bots" and "maga turds" say stuff like that, yet they present no evidence whatsoever to the contrary.

I understand we've currently got bigger fish to fry, it's just something I've observed that I needed to get out of my mind, and this seemed like the place.

I am curious as I’ve seen a lot of Athiests on here, anyone Christian? Jewish? Muslim?

this is acc a rlly interesting post and even tho it says the results show majority think the empire was wrong i am acc a little worried bc if you count ppl who think the empire was a good and bad thing then this numbers acc beat out a lot of the ppl who think empire was a straight up bad thing which let’s be honest it was bad like it was basically bad and there was nothing good about it.

also worries me that a majority of british ppl think we should teach about both good and bad things about the empire which is already troubling as those good things that get taught can easily end up outweighing the bad, when in reality it’s only the bad things we should teach about it as the brits shouldn’t even have been in the lands to begin with.

overall i’m very worried about this study bc it shows that majority still think there was good with the empire even if there was some bad also the fact ppl think it was also good is worrying to begin with, but yh what do you guys think? bc it rlly does seem the centrist and right wing ppl won out here or at least from my interpretation from ppl on the r/england subreddit who feel it was both good and bad

“but many biological males are in women’s sports and that’s dangerous!!”

“trans people are mentally ill, and we shouldn’t encourage their delusions!”

“the t needs to be split, because the lgb is completely different!”

“I used to play with trucks when I was 4, now I’m a just a masc lesbian, it’s called being a tomboy!!”

and the most common one, “sex and gender are the same”
