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.

Anderson early in the exchange sadly looking down at his notes, as he begins to understand that things aren't going to proceed along the rails that he wanted, is absolutely perfect to behold.

Reminds me of this Jeff Daniels scene from NewsRoom.

Seeing Anderson trying to steer the topic away when Bernie started talking about the greed of insurance companies is hilarious

Could have been better if Bernie forgot to turn his phone off and a Mario Brothers ring tone kicked in.

Modern day politics is about as staged as professional wrestling.

Stop being as gullible as a Hulkamaniac.

Yes, Bernie Sanders was getting arrested at civil rights protests in the early 60s, and then writing op-eds about how socialism was the answer and a better world is possible in the 80s, because he was all being built up as a fake candidate for the present day and all leading up to where CNN wanted people going on and talking about wealth inequality and problems in the health care system.

Clearly. It all makes perfect sense. You're actually 100% correct as far as the whole operation being pretty much fake, but then someone comes on who's trying to poke a hole in the fakeness and you're getting real emotional and insulting about how that, we have to not pay attention to.

Also, you participated a little bit with the voter-fraud user down below.

Fascinating.
