We have gone private to protest the API changes that are clearly intended as an anti-competitive measure to kill off 3rd party mobile apps and further enshittify the site.
In the mean time, we've moved here: https://beehaw.org/c/socialism
They do vetting because they got spammed so say you're from this subreddit when you join!
We are a place for leftists to discuss far-left politics without having to deal with a bunch of people calling for violence, gulags, guillotines, looting, and people engaging in apologetics for brutal dictators like Stalin, Mao, and the Kim dynasty; this is the edge we are without. We welcome discussion between anarchists, communists, socialists, and other far-leftists.
Remember that the presence of viewpoints and opinions different from your own is a good thing, and can strengthen your confidence in well founded beliefs and help you outgrow less tenable positions. Of course, it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics, so we ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate subreddit by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
Please be sure to read the rules. The mods may do quality control on lower effort content like memes. Discussion threads may have more relaxed standards. User pinging is allowed as long as it is "friendly", i.e to ask a question of someone or request some information you think they may have. Please don't ping someone to taunt, insult, or mock them!
If you're annoyed with a user, or possibly think your comment is over the line in some way, maybe take five minutes before hitting save. We're not going anywhere.

I have been out a while. I left the US in 2018. Prior to that, I had worked in Texas on causes related to Central and South American immigration. I knew then that we were embattled and unlikely to succeed, but I never thought our voice would go completely silent.
Lately, I hear the anti-Trump liberals have only one thing to say on the question of immigration: our sensible policies are better at stopping it than the Republicans whp do not really have a plan. Totally absent from all corners moderate and radical is the proposition that these people are humans worthy of humane treatment. You don't see it on the news, and you don't even hear it discussed on radical subreddits. Even ultra leftists who may be Russian bots claim there is no point in voting because of Gaza, but even they have nothing to say in support of the humanity of central and South American migrants.
What happened? Are they all gone? Why can I not even hear them speak for themselves? Have they all been locked up so tightly that they cannot even speak anonymously? How can an entire group of people, allegedly vast in number, remain the subject of conversation while their voices go completely silent? What the hell did I miss?
