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.

Take one of their most recent videos, titled “A Moral Case for Capitalism,” narrated by British conservative Daniel Hannan. Hannan is a high-ranking member of the Conservative Party in the House of Lords — none of which is mentioned in the video. He’s identified only as the author of a book called Inventing Freedom: How the English-Speaking Peoples Made the Modern World.

That's a succinct way of summing it up that the world would be a better place if this guy wasn't in it.
