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.

Texas has recently removed all regulations regarding water breaks for employees. This is a clear example of how the pro-life party only cares about the unborn because they want power over others.

The pro-life party claims to be concerned about the well-being of unborn children, but they are willing to let pregnant workers suffer in the heat without access to water. This is a clear example of how the pro-life party's priorities are not actually about protecting life, but about controlling women's bodies.
