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.

Oh yes those infamous left wingers like Clinton and Starmer. If only those of us on the right could have convinced them to be sympathetic to Gazans earlier!

What a weird headline. In what sense are we too early?

they were mentioned in the first paragraph. did you read the article beyond that? because it's quite clear that they're not claiming Clinton or Starmer to be left-wing.

gosh, if only there was something to read other than the headline that would explain the point the author is trying to make...

I'm criticising the headline not the article.

I’m criticising the headline not the article.

there's a pattern here...did you only read the 2nd half of my comment?

because you were also complaining about Clinton and Starmer being mentioned, but they aren't in the headline. they're in the first paragraph of the article.

the vibe you're giving off here is that you read the headline and the first paragraph, decided you didn't like the entire article based on that, but then decided to post comments criticizing it anyway.

asking ChatGPT to criticize the article would result in more substantive criticism than what you're doing.

From slavery and child labor in the 19th century to the Iraq War and Gaza, the Left position has been accepted only after horrible human costs. Next time, how about listening before the damage is done?

The sub heading is just as daft with the question it poses! We wouldn't be in a capitalist system if it were the case, unless of course, the author is a capitalist reformer.
