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.

Protest goes wider than the US version of polite, unobtrusive, and forgettable marches. Although our establishment insists that these are the only kinds of protest which are acceptable, this is only because as you described they are completely ineffective. Shutting down infrastructure, strikes, and other such methods, while frowned upon by Republicans and Democrats alike, tend to get a lot more attention.
I'm a big believer in the Blair Mountain/Marsha P. Johnson school of brick throwing.
