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.

What is supposed to be the difference between capitalism and garbage ? Asking for a commie friend.

Everyone has garbage, so garbage is communism...?

Capitalism is when it turns everything into garbage and then you hoard it among a handful of people. Garbage is the product of human activity that is useless. So it’s not that there is a difference between the two, but capitalism is both garbage and produces garbage itself.
