Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources donβt derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American PoliticsΒ© Brought to You by Mountain Dewβ’ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

honestly, I was about to post that, seemingly, fascist countries simply don't learn their lesson, and they get back up to their old tricks quickly.
but that makes me uncomfortable considering the implications. What do we do with countries that have fallen to fascism?
I've been dedicating a lot of time to that lately. My response is going to be: let them learn their lessons by themselves. By this, I mean, China is poised to be the next global hegemon (if we can't consider it to be already given its industrial base). Essentially: once socialism is global hegemon, keep rogue fascist countries unindustrialized, demilitarized and sanctioned up and down. Estonia, Finland and Poland want to go full fascist and cry about communism? Cool, let them. Fascism will eat them inside out, they'll never be able to catch up to communists economically if they remain in fascism, and seeing the grass being greener on the other side, they'll do the communism themselves.
Don't put other fascists
in charge of the rebuilding project
There's an idea I've heard people spread about a 100 year or so repeating cycle of authoritarianism/fascism. Capitalism will inevitably lead to fascism. If no progress is made towards advancing socialism, anything that is done to overcoming fascism is merely slapping a bandage on an infected wound.
What do we do? Resist by whatever means we can and organize the working class. Every step towards that goal, no matter how small, chips away at it. Fascism is doomed to fail. We just need to help it along.
You get rid of the rot. You get rid of the people (from the positions, not execution), the political structures, and capitalism, to rid the country of fascism and the potential of reinfection.

Japanese fascist: Let's start another war with China. The First Sino-Japanese War wasn't a fluke. We will surely win this time.
