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.

No joke, the first time I actually had socialism explained to me was in my college history class. Before that I had only heard of it in the negative contexts that you hear conservatives use it in. When the professor was done explaining it, I raised my hand and when called on, I said "Wait! That's socialism? What's wrong with that?!?". The professor chuckled and then we spent the rest of the class time discussing socialist theory vs socialist implementation throughout history. He was an outstanding professor, who permanently changed my political outlook.
Another one successfully brainwashed by the woke liberal universities

Ironically, this was at a community college in a very conservative area.
Information is the leading cause of wokeness
The community college is of course a bastion of wokeness
