<p>The mission of /leftypol/ at leftypol.org is to provide a fun and enjoyable space for the working

<p>An important part of /leftypol/’s unique character is our opposition to identity politics. We
believe that conflicts between genders, races, sexualities, and so on are distractions from the
wider class struggle that are intentionally fanned by the ruling class. This does not mean that
oppression based on personal characteristics does not exist, but that it should be approached
from an egalitarian perspective which is not personally accusatory and does not assign ‘victim’
and ‘oppressor’ groups. The rights of individuals to live according to their own wishes is a

<p>More broadly, leftism is defined as; “A broad set of ideological
forces which are dedicated to, by one form or another, dismantling the current material way of
things in capitalism and building a new egalitarian system to replace it.” If a point of view or
ideology claims to represent socialism or communism, yet is so divisive and anti-egalitarian that
