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.

Ah! The US! The land where the magnitude of the crime and punishment are decided by how much it offends the super rich! Show that the rich don't pay their fair share? Maximum punishment to be made an example of. Storm the capitol building? Token imprisonment. Gave out dangerously wrong blood test results in the process of defrauding investors? Imprisonment for just defrauding the investors.
