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.

Different sources emphasize different regions and politics. Most Leftist sources are not trying to provide news in the same sense as mainstream journalism, as much as analysis and criticism for broader events and trends.
In the US, Democracy Now may be the best example of an anti-capitalist replacement for mainstream journalism.
The Guardian, which has both US and UK editions, provides a mixture of left-liberal and anti-capitalist journalism.
Other sources include, for current developments, Truthout, Truthdig, It's Going Down, The Nation, the Monthly Review, Vice, and Vox, and for deeper analysis, the Chris Hedges Report, the Real News Network, the Laura Flanders Show, the Hampton Institute, and Jacobin. More theoretical analysis is being produced by Democracy at Work and meta (Centre for Post-capitalist Civilization).
The last source, meta, is the only I have given, other than the Guardian, not dominantly emphasizing the US.
