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.

How could you possibly know this? Do you think despair helps anything?

Doomers want to justify their inaction by pretending that nothing can be done.

That’s a good point, which is why I try to walk a fine line: I personally think we’re royally screwed, BUT I still take action in case I’m being overly pessimistic. I’m no expert, after all.

I also read that fossil fuel companies want you to give up and just accept that nothing can be done. To hell with that.
