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. 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.

Yeah man. I was appalled when I read about the shit Coca-Cola has pulled. Like, all you had to do was make some soda pop, but instead you decided to become Evil Empire Corp. It really goes to show what kind of person runs the company. Anyways, we boycotted Coke after learning about their abhorrent practices.

It's not just Coke, Capital is appeased regardless of the whims of individuals as long as Capitalism, and by extension Imperialism, is the dominant contradiction in the world. Marx's analysis remains relevant. I made a "Read Theory, Darn it!" introductory reading list if you want to check it out.
Soda companies, oil companies, and even banana companies. Colonization's been humanity's name of the game for at least a few millennia. We just now do it using faceless mega corporations instead of the names of kings or emperors.
