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.

What a strange comparison to make. Of course a world wide military alliance with many countries would be "better" than one that doesn't even have all the countries of one continent? Anyway, I hope he will do some good for Austria.
this is one of those things where i understand how the position comes about (left-wing skepticism to major, Western-dominated institutions) but it's like... is this the best fight to pick or publicly make an issue? even with NATO for example pretty much all of its constituent countries want to be in it, and the benefits to running a campaign of opposition against it are pretty minimal currently. i can't imagine trying to seriously wage a Euroskeptic campaign from the left, given how much the EU does for its constituent countries and their global bargaining power, and given the disaster that Brexit's been.
