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.

My abstract of the linked article


The passage discusses debates between Left Voice and Tempest on building an independent socialist party and engaging with broader left formations. A key point of contention is whether revolutionaries should aim to build their own organizations or intervene within reformist groups like Syriza or Podemos. While both agree on the need for revolutionary change, Left Voice argues for proposing a clear socialist program and alternative, while Tempest stresses the importance of flexibility and maintaining independence within broader left spaces to spread revolutionary ideas.

Overall, the debate centers on the best strategy for small revolutionary groups to transform consciousness and build working class power in the current political context.
