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.

Say the magic words [virtue signaling] & do fuqk all, promising eventual incremental change, after the next cycle...
Yep.
Remember when they promised $2000 checks in exchange for victory in Georgia? Then after they got elected they claimed that they actually meant $2000 total, and only sent $1400, since $600 in aid had been sent previously.
Fucking snakes.
And then 'inflation' on the basket of goods jumped like 200% because every corporation used the supply chain disruption as an excuse to jack up prices and suppress wages.
I sure hope the boomers didn't want grandkids, because I don't see it happening in my lifetime, let alone theirs.
You're not wrong.
This heretorfore unimaginable impoverishment of the poor and middle class is going to have disastrous effects on population growth.
