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 absolutely hate it. I understand the reasoning that banning the party would likely result in them just doing their stuff underground in an organization and place that you don't yet have infiltrated with spies, but holy fuck when will something fundamental happen to the AFD? We're dangerously close to repeating history.
And I don't think I can trust on the whole "defensible democracy" thing anymore...
The solution is to work around them, building the social and economic conditions to make them unnecessary, forgoing electoral politics and building dual power.
