Pretty simple to sum it up as collectivization of industry, or as abolition of Private Property in favor of collective ownership of the Means of Production.

Anything else, such as a rejection of hierarchy or a focus on democratization of production, is an abstraction and benefit of the previous statements.

Collectivization of industry, ie a rejection of Private Property. FOSS is leftist as it rejects individually owned IP and the profit motive.

Socialism, Anarchism, Communism, etc. are examples of leftist ideologies.

If you want a true ELI5, instead of one dude owning the factory and therefore everything the Workers create in it, imagine the Workers owning the factory and democratically deciding how to allocate profits and whether or not to elect a manager to help facilitate this.

Same reason Linux is popular on Lemmy. Lemmy is essentially an explicitly leftist community that appeals to people nerdy and techy enough to leave Reddit and join a smaller platform. Linux is a FOSS, ie leftist techy OS. Star Trek is leftist Sci-Fi.

Nerds, tech, and leftism all congregate on Lemmy.

And yet the political commentary displayed in the series is blatantly leftist in nature, and was written in the context of modern Capitalism.

Just like showing a dystopian hyper-Capitalist cyberpunk future is a commentary on the dangers of modern day Capitalism, showing a more “enlightened” post-scarcity Communist society as a hopeful future is also commentary on modern day society.

Sci-fi is pretty much just political, as it’s all speculative fiction based on different possibilities of modern society abstracted to a future setting.

IP in general is a very difficult idea to support. In theory, it’s supposed to reward innovation, but in practice it results in stagnation and price gouging.

Nah, it’s just compound labor. “Skill” is just the expressed form of training in current work, ie labor is only worth that which labor is required to replicate it.

I’d actually say it’s the reverse, all labor is unskilled labor, but some of it takes previous unskilled labor to perform and is thus compressed.

Still no genocide.

It does not. It puts individuals over the bourgeoisie.

It doesn’t, I’ve read it.

The context is that you grouped Communists with Nazis and Islamist extremists, and are arguing that all of their equally terrible views should be silenced. One of these things is far and away not like the others, and you know it.

Radicalization isn’t a bad thing. For example, the only logical solution to Climate Change is radical changes in societal structure, else we make the impending damages even worse.
