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.

Just remember, any time the media says "the economy" they mean "rich people". Workers being exploited and abused is an issue, but clearly the problem is its impact on the economy and not, y'know, people.

Part of my personal story: I had been working for that company for almost 10 years as a software developer and I thought I would have been hard to replace. They hired a bunch of juniors, split my workload and that's it, company runs as smooth as ever. Employers just don't care.
