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.

Even though it's too early to say, I wonder what the future would have held for US Democrats if Kamala were to win the election. Would they have learned that going right is the correct call?

What about a future where someone worse than Trump came up, someone who's a religious fundamentalist with even higher support numbers due to constant billionaire-funded propaganda and radicalization in general, what would Democrats do then?

But maybe I'm too much of a pessimist.

Ya, I've been wondering the same. Maybe this is what America needed. I guess we'll see how the Democratic party responds. Will they try go further right, as they have been doing for the last 50 years? Or finally be more progressive?
