Depending on what you're looking for as an alternative, some hackerspaces (and the physical + online communities around them) are quite left-wing. That's especially the case in Europe, where many hackerspaces are physically located in "nonprofit social center" buildings that provide housing for mostly DIY/left-wing/anti-authoritarian groups. For example, there's Malmö's Forskningsavdelningen (http://forskningsavd.se/about/ http://forskningsavd.se/about/), which was formerly hosted in Udkanten, and is now hosted in Kontrapunkt.
