Sorry Germans, but the zionists will be excluded.
Death to "Israel", death to Germany, and of course, death to AmeriKKKa.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of "ML" (read: Dengist) influence. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, discussion and agitprop/stuff that's better fit for a poster than a meme go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low quality!
Rules
0. Only post socialist memes
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme. Please post agitprop here)
0.5 [Provisional Rule] Try to use alt text or image descriptions to allow for greater accessibility
(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)
We encourage alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
0.5.1 Style tip about abbreviations and short forms
When writing stuff like "lol" and "iirc", it's a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart
- ofc => OFC
- af = AF
- ok => OK
- lol => LOL
- bc => BC
- bs => BS
- iirc => IIRC
- cia => CIA
- nato => Nato (you don't spell it when talking, right?)
- usa => USA
- prc => PRC
- etc.
Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them
1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" (read: Dengists) (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
4. No Bigotry.
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
6. Don't irrationally idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.
- Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
- Racism
- Sexism
- Queerphobia
- Ableism
- Classism
- Sexual assault
- Genocide/ethnic cleansing or (mass) deportations
- Fascism
- (National) chauvinism
- Orientalism
- Colonialism or Imperialism (and their neo- counterparts)
- Zionism
- Religious fundamentalism of any kind

"eliminates 99.9% of germans" makes it hard for me to laugh at this or find this funny. i support the disolution of the german state, as i do with every state. within this framework of understanding, resistance will have to take some form of violence since their oppression is violent in nature, and it's the only language fascists speak. israel and its allies are fascists. however, the idea that 99.9% of germans will need to die to dissolve the german state i feel crosses a line from us supporting the end of genocide to us calling for a genocide all our own.
It's defederation. It eliminated them from the Lemmy instance, not life.
No one is trying to actually kill Germans. This is the same kind of reaching that people engage in to get angry about "death to America" or even "unlimited genocide on the first world" memes. You are perfectly aware that this is a joke about defederating an instance and not literally killing people.
hence me not downvoting or reporting because i have other context. however i don't think it's as much a reach as you say it is when the purpose of a disinfectant is to kill, and it's not all that clear that "eliminates 99.9% of germans" means "eliminates 99.9% of german participation on a single fediverse instance"
if you and the mods think this is all fine, that's fine. my critique is not meant to be criticism of your stance, just of the effectiveness of your messaging. if i'm alone in finding it muddled, i can live with that, but i suspect if i found it muddled others do too
Actually, I specifically made sure to choose a container of wipes that said "eliminates" and not "kills" (which is a common marketing term) because I wanted to make sure this was clear.
Fair enough, of course I can't control how you or anyone else perceives my message. However, I made this as a shitpost to amuse other anti-zionist leftists and not as propaganda to try to change anyone's mind. If this makes liberal zionists (Germans or otherwise, but to clarify I'm not saying you are one) angry, for example, that doesn't bother me.
solid
You could maybe change "eliminates 99% of germ[ans]" to 99% of zionazis. It'd be more accurate. I get the word play but The Quuuuuill is probably right that it's easily mistaken for being anti-german as written.
You know that when an instance defederates from another, it doesn’t kill the users, right?
wtf? i didn't think it did, what a wild nonsequitar. this is a riff on disinfectant which kills microbials. excuse me for making the connection that "eliminate" in the context of a disinfectant means kill
Quite a lot of thought for a shitpost.
this is a lefty meme community, not a shitpost community. i presume when i am in this space that people are interested in creating, promoting, and propogating left-wing memes. from that stance, i try to think about what left-wing memes act as effective positive propaganda
That's not correct, see the following text from the sidebar.
