Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

This is why the US government runs the mail service, since it guarantees delivery to every address, no matter how remote, even if at a loss.

This is why education should stay a government service, so that schools exist for every student, even when a given class is too small.

And this is why medicine will always need a socialized element, since rare diseases are not profitable enough to treat.
