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.

It's still money wasted. If US subsidized cars/homes instead of bombs, people get cars/homes. "Forcing" Russia to expand military production so rapidly is going to force us to spend more on bombs too. Russian GDP growth is higher than US even after inflation/currency drop, because everyone has a high paying job due to alternative of military enlistment and weapons production. The US following suit would also drive inflation and crowding out employment from "useful sectors"
Global prosperity is necessarily higher at peace. Supporting what is possibly the most evil war in history, with such extreme mind control for programming tolerance for it, shows imminent collapse of world order and US empire.
Yeah fuck those Ukrainians what a waste of money
