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.

This isn't any article in particular, but rather a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to research leftist theory, or improve their praxis.

Disregard the name as it is a wealth of knowledge for socialists, anarchists and communists alike. I'm sure many here have learnt about this free and open library in the past, but just in case it's the first some have heard of it, I thought I'd share.

I'm down for suggestions.

Just to name a few for now:

Theses On The Fight Of The Working Class Against Capitalism - Anton Pannekoek
Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You! - David Graeber
Why Socialism? - Albert Einstein
The Socialization of Society - Rosa Luxemburg
The Destruction of Nature - Anton Pannekoek
Public Ownership and Common Ownership - Anton Pannekoek
Process Under Socialism - Peter Kropotkin
Prisons and Crime - Alexander Berkman

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.
