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. 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.

The entire left basically has been fucked over by any given faction of the left. Anarchists lose or fail to mobilize, state communists decide to start fighting the rest of the left before the revolution is even over and tend to leave gaps for authoritarian crackdowns, progressive liberals don’t actually want to overthrow capitalism (and have this tendency to survive revolutions better than dedicated anarchists and communists), trotskyists show up in Mexico with an ice pick in their kidneys…

We need to circle the wagons anyways. Are any of these things worse than fascism? We can fight each other when we’re done, but until then we can fly black, blue, and red flags together, and maybe we can try to find a works we’re all ok living in and make that instead of just fighting each other
