edit: changed proposed title to /c/aussocialism. Thanks Zagorath!

There are a few users on here, including myself, who discuss socialist politics. While some topics are interesting and relevant enough to post in other news and politics communities, others might only be interesting to other socialists, such as updates on local political organisations, discussing how theories apply to our economy, or drier historical questions. Consider /r/AustralianSocialism for some examples.

This community will be strictly for Aus/Oceania-specific posts, as there are plenty of communities on other instances for general memes, overseas politics, etc.

The refreshing part of having met people IRL in Australia, I think, is the majority of socialist identifying people in Australia don't have a hard-on for authoritarian regimes just because they claim to be socialist or are an enemy of the US (because apparently the US are the only imperialists... lol).

Though I have met a handful of such people IRL also, funnily enough, from the Australian Communist Party haha

I also vote on wanting this new community, mostly because lemmy.ml doesn't really align with the majority view of socialists (at least, that's my sense)
