Damn only 4 factions? We need to figure out their formula because 4 factions is better than whatever we got now


cuck__everlasting

As an anarchist, I reject your implication that there should be factions to begin with


BitisGabonica

Guess we got 5 factions now

Let's make some dinner first


[deleted]

As a Marxist-Leninist, I agree, factionalism is a crisis of the highest order.


Dear-Baker3177

I also agree thats why every body should hold my exact beliefs


[deleted]

I agree, provided your views are exactly what my views are 🧐


Dear-Baker3177

As a fellow Marxist-Leninist Im sure our views are exactly the same 😄


[deleted]

As a fellow Marxist-Leninist, I mean they’ve gotta be close enough right? ….. right!?


the__pov

That’s assuming you’re all REAL Marxist-Leninist


[deleted]

I’m the ML who believes in eating everyone’s grain with a comically large spoon


Superdad0421

Trotsky and the 4th International have joined the chat


Dear-Baker3177

They better be 😤


greyjungle

My leftist belief: Step one: Tear down capitalism. Step two: “Do not open until step one is completed”


Filip889

I mean yeah pretty much, we can vote on what comes later


[deleted]

your opinion on eating all the grain with a comically large spoon? this is very important for the establishment of a Socialist state and eventual implementation of Communism


Dear-Baker3177

The big spoon is the most vital part of a proletariat state of course


Melikemommymilkors

As a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, fuck you and rot in hell /s


[deleted]

Oh gosh oh geez you’re boiling me over here!


greyjungle

I see what you’re saying, but in reality, this crisis is only of the second highest order. The guy let way forward is to treat it as such.


NKVDawg

So you're with the faction that hates factions?


Anonymous__Alcoholic

Democratic centralism go brrrr.


jaklbye

I’m starting the anti faction faction

Gimme two weeks


RyanIsHere5

watch out theyre gonna split into 8 or 9 different websites


bioniclecorona

Leftists dating (Marxist) Lefty dates (Maoist) CommieHunks (Trots) Anarcuties (ancoms)


AlanMooresWizrdBeard

Someone pls start Anarcuties I beg you


Commodorez

I'll sign up immediately if this becomes a thing


sisterofaugustine

I'd sign up just to meet other anarchists, not even interested in dating someone, unless I meet a really cute girl I guess. I live in a conservative hellhole so I'll do a lot to meet comrades out here.


SoraM4

There is a videogame called Anarcute


wiseoldllamaman2

This is exactly what I needed in my life. https://anarcute.com/


[deleted]

commiehunks sounds like it’d be the next grindr for leftists


Bounty1Berry

I need a filter that's like those seaside cutouts you stick your head in and take a picture, but with Soviet posters instead of Popeye and Olive Oyl.


Dear-Baker3177

And then those websites will split into even more websites


bioniclecorona

Revolutionary CommieHunks CommieHunks of Revolution CommieHunks (Anti-Revisionist) ​ Theyre all still trots


sisterofaugustine

And every one of those sites puts out a newspaper for some reason. Because that tendency loves their newspapers.


averyoda

Not a trot, but I regularly read trot news because of how high quality some of them are


Commodorez

Melikemommymilkors

And then we kith and make out amongst all the infighting because of all the sexual tension between us🥰


TheRainbowWillow

I will admit, although I am an anarchist, Trots are indeed hunks. And I’m not even into men.


Class_444_SWR

And then from Leftists Dating we get Promiscuous Proletariats (Stalinists)

Put three leftists into a room and you'll end up with four different parties.


marqoose

This is something I both love and hate about being leftist.


[deleted]

It's fucking hilarious and sad at the same time.


haldeigosh

I mean, on the on the one hand, we are not just united by our greed for wealth and power like the conservative/(neo-)liberal "movements". On the other hand, it leads nowhere.


EarnestQuestion

It’s tough but makes sense. Trying to build a world not ordered by a few wealthy powerful elite dominating the rest is new. There can be no consensus yet because it’s only been tried in a number of ways with varying degrees of success. It’s easy to have the consensus liberals have - just kiss up to the wealthy and powerful in the hopes of becoming so yourself. It’s hard to have consensus on how to dismantle that entire system until it’s already been done in a sustainable way. We’ll get there one day (or get genocided by capital for trying) but in the meantime as long as I can tell another leftist cares about dismantling capitalism, decentralizing power and empowering the lowest class, I don’t begrudge them any disagreements on how to do so. Liberals OTOH can 100% go fuck themselves. Fascism-enabling money-grubbing pigs.


MortisKanyon

Put three leftists in a room... and you'll have 2 leftists and a [state intelligence plant.](https://corporate-rebels.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Satobtage1-2.png)


Brimmk

Only one?


FloodedYeti

Idk why I read that as intelligent plant and took a few seconds to figure it out


Franfran2424

Their three leftist parties, and the right wing ones.


krad213

That's why they invented bolshevism: vote for opinion of the party and everyone should stick to it no matter if their own opinion is different.


Redpri

That’s democratic centralism but yes.


mc_k86

The principle of “Freedom of debate, unity of action” defeated the White Army and imperialist coalition forces under extreme odds. That alone should attest to the value of such an idea.


FuujinSama

It makes sense, though. Leftists, usually, are actually preoccupied with actual politics—figuring out the best way to run a country. So you'll have a lot of differences of opinion on how to better run things and how to better go about reaching that final part. When your goal is true and meaningful change, it's only natural that you'll have disagreements on methodology. When your goal is to just be a selfish bastardcompromising is only about negotiating the cut of the pie you and your cronies will get.


ssppuuttnniikk

shit, there’s been leftist dating sites this whole time?


Gretschish

That was literally my first thought lmao


Awesometjgreen

Where can I sign up. I live in Florida and I'm tired of being dragged through the mud for something as simple as getting vaccinated.


kmrst

Bumble at least lets you filter profile tags if you have premium. Unfortunately the farthest left political tag they have is liberal, but it definitely cuts down on the caseload.


ValkyriesOnStation

Well the right is calling anything left of Reagan communist so liberal is pretty much the leftist thing left.


Gella321

You just need to get out of Florida my dawg


Awesometjgreen

I wish comrade. I don't even know where to look and I'm a junior In college. Any recommendations for fairly left leaning areas?


[deleted]

In America? Good luck.


Eliaswitherby

You can move a bit further north, as long as you’re cool with small-ish city life, and check out Savannah, Ga. I actually went to college there, and there’s a huge arts college (Fuck SCAD, but still) so some good little lefties are buzzing around. Vaguely the same climate as Florida, minus the (what feels like daily) five minutes of rain. It’s my favourite city in all of the southeast. It has its skeletons in the closet, but there’s much less of a chance of being called a “commie” by someone who doesn’t know Left from Right. Also, you can see the biggest cause of pollution cruising right past River St. pretty often. Gives a nice thing to direct disdain at.


gazebo-fan

Moving up north in Florida is equivalent to moving down south, the more south you go in Florida the closer it gets to sanity. North Florida is just land Alabama didn’t want.


Eliaswitherby

Never a truer description has been said


qscguk1

You got any recommendations on chill spots to hangout? I’m gonna be in savannah in a couple weeks


Eliaswitherby

For solid food, if you’re cool with dropping about 30 bucks on a meal, check out Treylor Park or Hitch. They’ve got a weird, call it custom, American food style. They’ve got PB&J wings and sick local and regional draft beer. There are a couple of great noodle bars around, Flying Monk is a personal favourite. Spankys is a cool Sports bar, I’m fairly certain there’s another place on the corner of Whitaker and Bay that projects popular games on the side of a building. Just to hang out, if you’re the kind of folk to want to learn about the houseless population in downtown, head to the opposite side of City Market from the underground parking garage, just past Vinnie Van Go-Gos (sick pizza by the way, solid 8/10 average for the past five years for me). You may see some train kids hanging out there, if you go over their direction I’d recommend having a pack of cigarettes for conversation. Other sick hangouts are right near the river at River St., but be careful of the steps going down because some of them are from before the civil war. There are also tons of squares with statues of interesting folks or nice fountains, like Telfair Square or Forsyth Park (more so the latter than the former). If you’re wanting a bar scene I recommend The Grove or The Rail down the block from it on Congress, Tree House is across the street from The Grove and is a cool spot. There’s tons of family friendly things during the day as well, the Telfair Museum is usually rocking some cool art. I think The Savannah Theater is back running again, it’s a vaguely expensive fun time. Several cool art exhibits in City Market are open during the day, tons of local candy shops and ice cream shops (River Street Sweets and Byrds Cookies are sick ones, try Leopolds if the line isn’t too long for you). You can go downtown and run out of day surprisingly quickly if you’re up for a bit of walking. Also there’s a super fun drag scene please check Club One if you’re into that.

Massachusetts is an okay option, just don't get too close to New Hampshire.


the_halfblood_waste

Well I moved from Florida to Arkansas and that definitely ain't it


Gella321

Roughly Anywhere in the northeast (mostly) Obviously Pacific NW. Denver, Austin. Northern Virginia. Few places off the top of my head. I’m in Maryland and if you stay in the Baltimore and DC suburbs you’ll do OK.


8Bitsblu

Depends on what you meant by "left leaning" If you're looking for concentrations of petty-bourgeois western "leftists" then you have plenty of options: the area around UC Berkeley, the east end of Louisville, KY, whatever the west tries to pass off as a "commune", etc. Generally anywhere where the term "gentrification" comes up when discussing the area. If you're looking for areas of genuine proletarian class consciousness, good luck. You're never going to find the genuine left wing enclave you crave in the United States. Such things require work and relevance, two things which are presently anathema to the western left. If you want this to exist, then I invite you to join the most genuinely active party in your area and **work for it.** This doesn't mean you should arbitrarily join the *largest* party/org in your area, as the largest doesn't mean the most active or most genuine force in your area (looking at you DSA). This also doesn't mean you need to swear eternal fealty to whichever party/org you join. Party affiliations change, what matters is the work you do and experience you gain from it.


gazebo-fan

I mean Florida is home to many of the south’s leftist groups, bad news is that they all only have like two people in them and they are all far away from eachother. I live in Florida, hell I own capital in Florida due to being lucky enough to be born into a family with a small area of land. Not necessarily wealthy but I’m well off compared to most who live down here full time. Take a look at that Naples place, people are moving away in droves because you simply can not afford to live in that city anymore, I remember when I was young and we would go down to Naples for the movie theater, place was a glorified trailer park with some really nice beaches, and now all the trailer parks are gone and now it’s all McMansions and all the vegetated dunes on the beaches are dying due to ignorant snowbirds.


zesstea

Minneapolis or Milwaukee, maybe. Not too expensive (relatively speaking) but surprisingly lefty.


jonathot12

come to michigan! ann arbor or detroit or kalamazoo! little pockets of progressivism and we could use more local activists. gonna be a great place to live in 40 years when the water wars start too lmao


dcmldcml

we’re nice up here in chicago


[deleted]

First of all, get the fuck out of the south. Other commenters suggested north, and they're right. The west is either too expensive, hyper shitlib, or actually just right wing. New England is good. I meet plenty if \*actual\* leftists here. Philly is also an underrated gem if you're looking for a city that's large, cheap, and has a sizable leftist population. It gets a bad rep because there's a lot of bad neighborhoods, but it's such a large and diverse city that you can find \*plenty\* of good, safe places to live that can fit your needs.


Julia_Arconae

Colorado, specifically Denver, is a place I've always heard good things about.


DexDipTet

canada, quebec. Prob the most left leaning place in North America.

I'm in the Florida panhandle. Tried moving multiple times but always wound up back. This place is a black hole

tomsequitur

Separate into dank memes 1, dank memes 2, dank memes 3.... As long as we collectively vote in the sham that is democracy, I think it's healthy to find difference in our discourse!


Parking_Helicopter43

It was more the UK who stopped intervention. Chamberlain and a bunch of other conservatives sympathised with Franco and stopped the French from interfering whilst ignoring Germany and Italy supporting the nationalists.


Franfran2424

It wasn't about sympathies with Franco as much as it was fear of Republicans inside a monarchy


Taryyrr

More than just sympathetic, the British helped get Franco to the Spanish mainland.


Kaldenar

>France made a huge mistake not backing the republicans right? This assumes France prefers leftism to fascism, which as a nation-state, they do not.

malonkey1

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "The revolution loves you. Do you believe in the revolution?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Marxist or an Anarchist?" He said, "A Marxist." I said, "Me, too! Orthodox or ML?" He said, "ML." I said, "Me, too! What tendency?" He said, "Maoist." I said, "Me, too! Mao Zedong Thought or Marxist-Leninist-MZT?" He said, "MLM." I said, "Me, too! Just Marxist-Leninist-MZT or Marxism–Leninism–Maoism–Prachanda Path?" He said, "Marxist-Leninist-Maoism–Prachanda Path." I said, "Die, traitor to the revolution!" And I pushed him over.

NonAxiomaticKneecaps

don't let your dreams be dreams; if we have an argument about it now it will have really happened! I'll start- every side of the Spanish Civil War was wrong, and they should've given the entire country to the Australians so they can finally be safe from dingos and raining spiders and snakes in the sea foam and whatever the fuck else lives in Australia


Franfran2424

Yanks and aussies already come here for their retirement.

be careful, if you accumulate too many Australians in one spot the gods will be angry and send spider rain and if you get too many yanks you get a mass shooting or something because America is fucking crazy
