Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

Rome wasn't defeated by "other standing armies". So no, that's nothing to do with anything..
Also who the fuck cares about recent US history and the wild west. You sound like a dumb ass who knows very little about the scope of politics, history, and the topics being discussed.
Don't rant as cover when you could entertain the possible truths others are telling you: Community policing was the longest form of stable communities.
Not enforced centralized or uniformed violence.
Yes other countries that had or adopted a standing army defeated rome. Ad hoc armies like the Gauls were destroyed by Rome.
Ah yes, Libertarianism where if only those pesky regulations were removed people would be free to do good.
