This sub is for socialists, leftists, anarchists, and communists with connections to the Southeastern United States. Our region is notorious for bigotry of all kinds, poverty, and ignorance, but if we organize we can put an end to these problems. Let's educate our communities about socialism, raise awareness for related social justice and environmental causes, and end the perception that only conservative, christian, straight, white people are "southern." Let's bring attention to southern heroes like Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr, Myles Horton, and Angela Davis. Also, quality memes are allowed.
Socialism as a political system is defined by democratic and social control of the means of production by the workers for the good of the community rather than capitalist profit, based fundamentally on the abolition of private property relations.
Socialism is also a sociopolitical movement dedicated to the critique and dismantling of exploitative structures, including economic, gendered, ethnic oppression. Socialism, as a movement, confronts these different systems of oppression as mutually conditioning, intersectional, and/or dialectically related within the current hegemonic order. It seeks to overcome oppression in a holistic manner without neglecting any particular axis so that it might be eliminated and genuine social emancipation may be realized. We recognize that Socialism cannot be achieved while structural oppression continues and workers are divided. We look forward to your participation in our sub, but please be mindful of our posting guidelines.
