World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He isn’t the economy. The workers are.
Yep. Bad for the economy, good for the people.
Yacht sales will plummet by 5% though!
I think you are confused, why would it be bad for the economy?
"The economy" = rich people's yachts.
But he's a Job Creator or some shit
Cuase their job creators we have to treat them special. Job creators can't go to jail or anything.
You know who else are job creators?
All of the people doing the actual work.
Vietnam would like a word.
Edit: I'm not pro death penalty (latest update has Vietnam actually removing it for this crime due to this case) but just showing the absolute night and day difference between how they treat capitalist that cause death and poverty through their greed.
When they inevitably try to pretend they are pulling business from new York when Mamdani becomes mayor. Please, everyone, use this as an opportunity to show how evil the structures of capitalism are.
It will be a perfect time to explain class conflict to your liberal friends. The interest of the people of New York will be held hostage by capital. And overwhelmingly popular policy will be talk about as "unrealistic" and "poor economics".
Yes, that is why capitalist must lose their power. They are holding the popular policies of the people hostage. That power should not exist in their hands but the hands of the people.
Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. The economy and politics are not separate. We cannot have a dictatorship controlling our companies and economy and call it a "democratic process".
Fellow socialist 🙌
Okay, but what if the financial sector launches a capital strike?
Cuba is a great example of the results. Powerful worker state, but it is bottled up and suffocated by the US led embargo.
France is not comparable to Cuba in this scenario
I mean you said it yourself, it's an embargo. Good luck doing that to France.
Then the world must go on labor strike. Capital requires our consent. Withdraw consent, seize the means of production and begin the class war. We are outgunned, but they are outnumbered, and we can easily get more guns once they can't get any more numbers.
Viva Revolución, Viva Cuba Libre!
