Hell yeah! Eugene.

If you want to talk about history glossing off great leaders and speakers because they don’t fit the narrative, look no further.

I won’t say more. Go down rabbit holes, listen to his speeches. If you didn’t know he died a hundred years ago, you’d think he was recording today.

So much resonates, which is ultimately a tragedy.

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.
