Socialism

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Shit like this is what's going to help Trump get elected.

It doesn't matter how much you repeat the meme of 'joy' that the Harris campaign has fully embraced as their brand. Workers know full well how empty their dinner tables are and they live the extent to which the Democrats have failed them every single day.

It's true, the Democratic Party's messages tend to resonate with well-off middle class liberals, who seem to be their usual target audience. It's so frustratingly out of touch, though they don't even seem to see this as a problem because they're primarily serving wealthy interests, with a side helping of social justice rhetoric. Typical liberal stuff really. The USA could really use a proper left-wing workers' party.

Will never happen with FPTP elections.
