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.

Moral philosopher Henry Shue argues that we should think of our generation’s climate responsibility like the World War II generation’s duty to stop fascism. We were born into a critical historical moment and have an obligation to act.

Amazing how we are the generation that needs to do everything. We are already the last generation with no ability to kick the can on so many issues that have piled up.

It is so annoying that even the issues other generations claim to have solved are still front and center today because nothing was solved. Hell, we can't even get accurate teaching into schools. I was floored to hear a teacher giving a lecture on Christopher Columbus discovering America recently. Like, no, we know that isn't true and we know the reason we learned it was to stop racial pregidious against Italians. Why can't we teach that to kids instead of telling lies and leaving another generation to find out the truth on their own?

People are stupid.
