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.

You can infer it. It's hard to see it as a "world" because it's purely solipsistic. "I get to do what I want, when I want. I get to dictate the behaviour and appearance of everyone around me, on pain of disappearance and/or death. I get to consume whatever I wish; I get to tell you what you may consume to match my self-deluded conception of what 'morality' is." Etc.

Of course, when your philosophy is tyranny, it ends up not being what all the would-be tyrants wanted, or what they thought they wanted. But they lack the self-reflection to foresee that.
