It certainly covers all the bases.

I know, right? It's perfect.

I am saving it to my political images folder. This design is a perfect encapsulation of the shittier aspects of society.

I do like the idea of capitalisms colour being yellow.

This is far too orange to be appropriate however.

And, missing the bed of shit it sits on — like a throne & birthplace in one.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 1 week ago

It's gold-like, which seems congruent to me. Yellow by itself doesn't say too much about capitalism, maybe anarcho-capitalism, but not capitalism as a whole.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

That's where my mind was at but didn't want to directly reference actual propaganda. anarchy and capitalism are mutually exclusive.

@[email protected] got the right idea. yellow = cowardice.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

What I think is that the symbol has to be credible, it has to make you think "Yes, this could definitely be the symbol of capitalism if they didn't feel the slightest hint of shame".

That's why I think this is perfect as it is. I see it clearly being posted on 4chan by an anon presenting it as a symbol of the capital of kekistan or some shit like that.

Yellow is also in some contexts the color of cowardice, which seems appropriate

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

The orange version actually matches pretty nicely with the world's current political dumpsterfire.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Libertarians do often wear gold colored ties to visually indicate their political leanings.

For those who didn't notice, there's a swastika hidden in the $

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

And a cross...

It's almost as subtle as fascism hidden in capitalism.

I haven't been this thrilled about a design since Tui's logo.

Instead of yellow, black, and white it should be red, black, and white. This way, everyone can see where capitalism is heading to.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago

the yellow-orange colour represents gold, an obsession with material goods. I think it makes sense personally.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Also, most fast food colors are yellow and orange to make you hungry, so yeah it works from multiple angles

its already pretty obvious from the logo i feel... no need to over-epmhasize it..

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

That dude is spot on!

I think it would look better if it was Dollar green.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Gold has a broader meaning.

Lefty Memes

5517 readers
8 users here now

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. 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, and discussion 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

Version without spoilers

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)


0.5 [Provisional Rule] Use alt text or image descriptions to allow greater accessibility


We require 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.


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" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (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.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't 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.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
