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.

Does this demonize and oppress a large chunk of the population? If so, then yes, that's what they wanted.
It's exactly what they wanted.
This is about control and punishing perceived undesirables. Cruelty is a feature, not an unfortunate byproduct.
