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.

I wish people would stop using the word "leftist" as it means nothing and comes from dumb-fuck Americans who never studied politics in school. Now it's used by far right parties in europe to describe anything not Nazi enough for them.
As far as I agree generally its a term also used in Poland. It regained popularity due to the far right using it to stigmatize anything loosely associated with left wing values, but it was actually coined... by the communist regime apparatchiks to mark out dissenters. There's a pretty interesting Polish book on the term itself. BTW Polish radio is a state owned media.
His party are social democrats
To be completely fair though, Zandberg and much of Razem's present day management does have a part with Młodzi Socjaliści, an actuslly socialist youth group, and even as recently as 2023 Zandberg admitted that they're market socialists (whether that actually counts as socialist or not is beside the point and even then that is still substantially closer to workers owning the means of production than the Third Way variant of social democracy that Nowa Lewica, the left-wing party in our current government, currently supports).
That being said, "leftist" is a somewhat derogatory term. Had this article's title been written with the identical language in Polish, it might've used "lewak" which is fully derogatory towards people with left-wing beliefs (or if you're far-right also towards liberals).
Then I'm sure this journalist can use this term instead of "leftists" which says nothing about ideology.
Tbf they are speaking to a Polish audience who would recognize what the term 'leftist' means in their culture.
