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.

Too many people seem to want to "win" at any cost. What they feel they're winning, I couldn't begin to guess. The rich jerks are still going to be rich, the poor ones poor, and you all get to live in a fascist hell hole.
And it's not like that type isn't known for turning on their own team too, so in the end, almost everyone loses. What percentage benefited from any of these authoritarian regimes? If it was ever over 10% is be pretty surprised. It's a pyramid scheme that takes lives.
This is what happens when the population integrates politics into their individual identities.
Our government has just become the largest, most expensive game of football and there are only two teams.
