So I'll steal Comrade Conscentia's words, and post format, and resources and welcome you all once again to the Left-Wing Discussion Thread (LWDT), where all are welcome to discuss all matters pertaining to the political left. This is a discussion thread about left-wing politics, not a thread exclusively for left-wing people. All are invited to post here, as long as discussion pertains to the topic and complies with the forum rules.
Suggestions for improvements, changes, or additions to the poll and opening post are very welcome.
The previous iteration of the LWDT can be found here.
Relevant subjects for discussion include:
- The politics, philosophies, and ideologies of the political left.
- Left-wing perspectives on economics and political economy.
- News and history relevant to the political left.
- Left-wing responses to current events.
- Left-wing perspectives on social and economic problems.
- Political, social, cultural, and economic problems and their solutions according to the political left.
- The problems facing particular left-wing movements or the political left in general, and how to resolve them.
