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.

Like many others, I used reddit as a link aggregator to keep up with news and current events. I'm never going back to reddit so I'm using ino reader as my news app and was hoping to get some suggestions on good sources to keep up on news, politics, etc. Any suggestions on sites I should check out to stay informed?

The Nation (US-oriented)
Democracy Now
Tribune (UK-oriented)
Open Democracy (mostly UK-oriented, i believe)
The Maple (Canada-oriented)
The Intercept
Truthdig
Truthout
Jewish Currents (Jewish-oriented, obviously)

ideology-specific

Left Voice (Trotskyist)
Industrial Worker (anarcho-syndicalist/syndicalist, published by the IWW)

Might be good to put these in the sidebar?

[–] alyaza 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

probably yeah; i do think it's a little US-centric for my liking and a little sparse on ideological content (i want it to be sort of agnostic overall, ideologically) so improvements from the crowd would also be helpful here

[–] GuyDudeman 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think that will come in time as well. Thank you for being ideologically agnostic. The more people we're able to welcome, the better for the cause. Much better than shutting people out like so many ML communities do.

I'd add Mint Press News to the list.

Don't forget about The Lever.

Awesome! Thank you so much

From the UK.

Can be a bit hit and miss, but it's worth a read for socialists: https://www.thecanary.co/

Might be considered Stalinist by some, but it often does have some interesting articles from from various strands of leftists: https://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/

The first name that comes to mind is Jacobin.
