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:

I don't think the oppressed care if you are wishful for this or that time if it makes no difference to them. They'd probably understand that you were being wishful for a time when things were better for you, same as they undoubtedly are if things have become worse.
The idea that you're never allowed to be wishful ever, even when things have gone worse, because someone somewhere is always going to be oppressed is a bit nonsensical.
I bet Iranians now are wishful for Obama, for example.
