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.

No more excuses for heat deaths. As global warming worsens, it’s time to guarantee workers’ basic human rights.

I agree that there exists degrees of egregiousness in the implementation of capitalism, that is true. But the core problem with that ideology stays the same: it puts profits before people, in the end, invariably. And if it ever is to take measure to protect people, those have to be fought for continuously and will suffer relentless aggression from a system that simply is simply not intent in abiding any impedance to its cashflow.
