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.

Yes, we know. And it's also why "nothing is stopping you" is just a lie
That's my point. There's no legal barrier, but it's not so easy to put all that in place. Most people are straight up incapable of it.
Those people should stop complaining that they don't get 100% of the value they obviously are not 100% responsible for creating, when they labor within a framework built and maintained by others, with others' resources, said framework being the primary reason that their labor is valuable to begin with.
You can get paid for digging a hole where the one who's paying wants you to, but no one's gonna pay you for digging random holes in your own backyard no one but you wants there.
That's not nothing then, stop lying. Just say "it's perfectly legal to start your own business alone or together when you don't like the jobs available to you" or something
Or you can understand that I obviously was talking about legality the whole time and not obsess over an irrelevant semantic detail in a desperate attempt to evade the actual substance of what I said.
Or you can not presume we can read your mind in the first place. This might be obvious now, but you were dead wrong
