The United States federal government in 2020 embarked on a grand and beautiful experiment: expanding the use of tax dollars to help stave off poverty.

    This is the stuff I think about every time I hear we’re appropriating more money for another country’s war.

      This is generally a state issue, so your examples are apples and oranges.

      Additionally, the US is crippling Russia by throwing money at Ukraine. This is literally the best deal ever for the US.

        A shallow excuse for the amount of money we pour into warmongering. This should be legislated at the federal level and you know it.

        I imagine kids with school lunch debt would feel differently.

            No, the issue is war in general and the extent to which our own people’s needs are neglected because of it.

            Ukraine is just another excuse for war profiteers to profit. What galls me the most about Ukraine, however, is reading these stories about the monstrous ways our own needs are neglected in order to fund a war that isn’t even our own.

                We can easily afford to feed kids.

                Agreed.

                Our bloated military (which I do not support btw) has nothing to do with it.

                And yet you’re here defending it anyway.

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.
