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.

Don't ever take media for granted. Back up everything yourself, and make it available to whoever you can.

Politicians want to ban books and other media they dislike, and attacking "pirated" and "obscene" media is part of that path.

Internet Archive thought that by being a legitimate org, they could avoid the anti-consumer, anti-education media-hoarding and denial of companies and the government, but the reality is that individuals were always going to have to be the ones to save media ourselves.
