A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' etc.

So if I'm reading correctly this is a just "Capitalism is built on Racism, and we can't end Racism without ending Racial Capitalism." But stated in a more inflammatory way. Probably to draw attention.
The idea actually goes back to way before capitalism was officially invented. They use the word capital here in it's business meaning and only partially in it's ideological meaning. They point out that the idea of centralizing the control of land and capital goes back to feudal states and was the reason Europeans started deciding who was superior and who was inferior.
It's certainly a new way for me to look at the 100 years war and the Protestant/Catholic wars.
