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 recently learned that some kids are in debt because they can't afford school lunches. Truly the darkest timeline

When I was in elementary school, they wouldn't let you "graduate" to the next grade until you paid your food bill.
Luckily I was poor and qualified for free lunches most years
Yeah, it's quite gross. This is really something that should be part of the school budget.
