Socialism

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.

i did see he was at least running in the Green primaries as of yesterday, so his quixotic campaign isn't the dumbest thing ever anymore. but i really want to know why he announced with the categorically-unserious People's Party and not with the Greens, who are at least moderately respectable and have legitimate ecosocialists and activists among them and not just cranks.
Yeah, if he going to do the patchwork approach Nader did for his indie bids, I wonder why even announce with the People's Party at all which is so unestablished and is gonna have to claw for whatever ballot access it can get, hell, the Greens themselves are only left on like 17 ballots.
Who knows. Maybe 3rd time's the charm.
also kinda curious where all the Marianne posters will go, since Cornel West objectively has more chops and a better track record than Marianne with fewer hangups, lol
