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.

Theory suggestions:
19th century classics:
Love David Graeber's work. Bullshit Jobs is iconic.
He was taken from us too soon.
highly recommend the dawn of everything as well, which was his final book.
Suggest adding:
Looks good so far! I've never heard about Propaganda in the Information Age, The Reactionary Mind and Bowling Alone. I'll probably add them to my list though.
Maybe it would also be a good idea to add some shorter texts as a simple and introductory primer? Something that's only a few pages long. I know a few if you would like some suggestions.
I'm down for suggestions.
Just to name a few for now:
Also, I'd like some feedback on this list. I could theoretically add a few more, but that's probably not necessary and would just overwhelm any newcomers.
Oh yeah, Graeber did write a very accessible case for anarchism. I always forget about that.
reminds me i need to read Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology, actually
