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.

At this point the US government would rather nuke all major US cities and rule over ashes than ever allow an alternative system to our failed Neoliberalism and Neoconservatism to take hold.
Given that, it makes sense why so many people choose to believe in the lie that the rich people will create technology that will save us all from the rich people. Most don't see any other choice.
"We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words."
Preaching to the choir. :)
