LGBTQ+ rights are under attack across the world.
This a Community dedicated to the discussion of how to protect, advocate for, and restore LGBTQ rights!
With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.
We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.
Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

He has shown that he isn't better than succdems like AOC or Sanders
no one who ever runs for elected office will ever be perfect. it's still part of our movement to put better than the worst people into the office while we organize on the margins.
don't let perfect be the enemy of good, but don't forget to never accept good enough as good enough
Oh it's the liberal again ๐๐
yes. you know liberals. always encouraging others to organize on the margins in order to bring about a resilient insurgency movement to seize the means of production because electoralism will never save us, only stave off catastrophe long enough for us to get in order. how very liberal of me to do ๐
Your liberal understanding of history and political theory tells me something else, but oh well ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
calling people liberal is such a buzzword for conservatives, tankies are no better than conservatives, you just have a veneer of being left while also adopting many things of the right.
explain my politics to me, please, since you know them so much better than i do. tell me how my belief that we need to conduct coalition building in order to bring about a stateless, hierarchiless, moniless society is improper leftist thought. tell me how my belief that every society can be understood through the lens of how its economy works and we've been on a cycle of imperial fascists holding all the power for 12000 years (at least) and adopting the aesthetics of liberation is fundamentally pro-capital in nature.
i'd love to know where i can improve, bot you've just called me "the liberal" out of nowhere on a comment where i was fundamentally agreeing with you and encouraging others to understand that electoralism is not the beginning and end of resistance and that in order to create durable anti-fascist actions and bring about a good economic condition for all people they need to be doing more.
I'm not talking about this thread exclusively LOL.
Most of your takes I've seen on c/leftymemes just seem western AF and whack
Obvious troll is obvious
because trying to talk to dogbert is the etirety of my persona. i ended up blocking the most active poster to that comm because their entire existence seemed to be punching anarchists while only supporting authoritarian politics, which i took issue with. what's funny is some of that behavior saw them getting a temporary ban, soโฆ glad to know you judge me almost entirely on trying to encourage a fellow leftist on how to be a more effective communicator.
tell me though. what am i getting wrong about leftism outside of my zone. how can i be a more effective coalition builder as an anarchocommunist. what flaws am i exhibiting as someone who coalitions most easily with religious anarchists? i developed most of my class based politics growing up in poverty in the states and then talking to russians, Ukrainains, Cambodians, and people from Ireland about their experiences resisting oppressive governments.
i am very willing to adjust how i resist authoritarianism. none of us can be free until we are all free.
If you expect the world to be exactly like you'd want it to be, every politician will disappoint you. Unless you get into politics and become a dictator.
