Does one have to be an iconoclast or revolutionary these days to be validly left? I consider myself to be left of center, and very much in favor of progressive policies. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

However I find myself being disagreed with quite often, mostly for not advocating or cheering violence, "by any means possible" change, or revolutionary tactics. It would seem that I'm not viewed as authentically holding my view unless I advocate extreme, violent, or radical action to accomplish it.

Those seem like two different things to me.

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN'T MEANT FOR YOU.

No problem! If you have any questions, you can message me, or ask over in [email protected] or somewhere on Lemmygrad. Lemmy.ml's Communism and Socialism communities aren't too active when it comes to discussing theory.

You realistically won't be added to any lists, haha, but if you're worried you can use a VPN and download the files locally.
