Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

I understand that promoting the idea in right wing sphere could bring you a load of money. The same way that fire festival brought a lot of money to the guy at the top.

But when built each experiment have gone belly up and nothing could be salvaged off.

So how the right wing grifter are benefiting from building an actual freedom cities ? What I’m missing here ?

Ok I understand that but so far, all in savage capitalist cities have gone belly up

So in the now (as opposed to to the glum future) who is benefiting from doing again and again a failed project ?

Look at seafaring, they build their prototype, it sank and their valuation tank like ice cream in the sun but people are still investing in shit like that.

Maybe I’m failing to see a detail but from where I am none of the investor got anything, they only lose and we know that capitalist hate to lose money.

The demand/expenditure now is based on speculation of what the future will look like.
