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.

Either for theory or for news, US primarily?

Aww man, do I have a list for you.

[–] Sumbrada@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm painfully aware that I'm necroposting, but I had to rise up out of the ether to thank you for this well curated list of sources.

[–] mambabasa@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you benefited!

I'm not sure they really fit the ask but you might like Srsly Wrong

[–] EthicalAI@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I listened to an episode just now. That’s a Srsly good podcast!

Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here are both pretty great.

On that note, Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, hosted by Margaret Killjoy, is a good counterbalance to Behind the Bastards.

Well There's Your Problem is an international treasure

Pod Damn America, Trillbilly Workers' Party, and Chapo Trap House are also a good time

Not specifically socialist but The Majority Report is a good progressive/leftist podcast for news and politics

Elephant in the Room is an English language podcast from Germany.

Anarchist News does a roundup podcast of recent stories often, I think it's either weekly or bi-weekly. Clearly news related.

[–] falsemirror@beehaw.org 1 points 9 months ago

Others covered my favorites , but some more loosely fitting ones in no particular order: For the Wild, Working people, Coffee with Comrades, What's Left of Philosophy, Total Liberation (recently ended), The Ex-Worker.

While not strictly about politics, the tech podcasts Tech Won't Save Us and Trash Future are quite good and generally anticapitalist.

Richard Wolff does a great podcast - Economic Update

I used to listen to The Deprogram but eventually I couldn't ignore their bad takes. I don't think there's any good non-tankie podcasts from what I've seen. If anyone has one please let me know as well.

[–] TokenBoomer@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone has bad takes. Take the good from it and leave the bad. Like tankies or not, but they tend to know more theory then the average socialist. I listen to Vaush, he has some good takes, but he’s also pro NATO, which is no bueno for me.

[–] ivereadalltheory@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have yet to hear a single tankie who has even the most rudimentary understanding of theory. Vaush is good, I don't like some of his takes and he's a bit whiny on occasion but he's doing good work bringing people to the left.

The guy that created this platform is a Marxist-Leninist, and has read some theory. His essays : Desalinnes.

[–] ivereadalltheory@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I know, I've spoken with him. His abilities are impressive but otherwise I find him disagreeable.
