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.

Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

As long as there is crime and antisocial behaviour

Cops do not actually help with this. There are much better and actually effective ways of resolving this.

They do in most countries.

When there's a murder or a rape or a burglary, someone has to collect the reports and perform the investigation. Someone has to enforce the rules of the road and screen for drunk drivers and document traffic accidents. Someone has to show up to stop crimes in progress when they happen. Whatever public official does this job is functionally police. Calling them militsiya instead of police doesn't actually change their job description.

A society where none of these things happen is not something humanity is currently capable of creating. It will require a lot of social, cultural and possibly genetic evolution to manifest.
