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.

Universal health care? Regulation on medical insurance and pharma industries? Perhaps your bank balance shouldn't dictate your chance of survival against cuts and bruises?

How about the right to education? Education is the most important weapon against poverty. But what if poverty prevents educational opportunities? How about some control on academic publishers and journals?

Or how about cheap or free and reliable public transport? What if you could skip hours of hellish drives?
