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.

No I'm not talking about U.S. cities, but places in Mexico and Asia specifically. And if I am deep throating the capitalist system, it's because I have wisdom to do so. You can quit being a jerk and maybe listen to someone's else's point of view once in awhile.

You just walk around with your eyes closed or are painfully ignorant if you don't see the same things in US cities. Maybe you should open your eyes to the actual reality of capitalism and accept that people are living in these conditions because of capitalism.

Just FYI Mexico and nearly all Asian countries are explicitly capitalist or have market-centered economies. Even "communist" China.
