Late Stage Capitalism
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,' Tankie, etc.

I try and remain intellectually consistent.
I'm opposed to bailing out banks.
I'm opposed to bailing out any industry not just the auto industry
I'm opposed to bailing out farmers (and I currently live amongst corn fields).
And, I'm opposed to too big to fail.
I'm also opposed to student loan forgiveness.
Corporations are allowed to discharge debt via bankruptcy. Let's give that to students. Does that satisfy your consistency?
As you can see in two further posts here I did say that student loans should be dischargeable by bankruptcy.
