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:

So who is free, by this definition? Neolithic farmers? Would you want to change places with them?
People living in autonomous regions, and sure. Who wouldn't want to live in a community run by the community vested in its own wellbeing rather than a community run by a capitalist class vested in how much they can extract from your community.
It's all fun and games until your harvest fails because of bad weather. Or you get raided by the neighbouring tribe. Or your tribe is wiped out by a virus. Or you're chosen as a sacrifice to the rain god. Or...
