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.

This is some really dumb brainrot shit of a q-anon conspiracy theory comment. Thank you for the entertaining read.

Maybe you should do some of research rather than immediately labeling something "Brainrot shit of a q anon theory". You sound like you're a bot just parroting some nonsense. Do some personal research on how ww2 changed taxation in America, because this "brainrot shit" isn't actually shit at all, but your comment sure is

ps - in case you don't know how to google, please go to taxfoundation.org maybe you'll learn something

Doing their own research is what leads dipshit morons to believing fringe idiotic conspiracy theories.

You got any peer reviewed shit or investigative journalism publications from vetted sources talking about this stuff or is this all smoke coming out of your ass?

Checked taxfoundation.org and they are vetted as trustworthy as reliable info and the domain is legit. However I can't find whatever the fuck you two are on about in that site.

While its a short article from their site its informative , talking about how WW2 set the stage for where we are now with the income tax and how our government spending boomed since then with this new revenue stream https://taxfoundation.org/blog/world-war-ii-us-taxation/#:~:text=WWII%20Changed%20How%20We%20Raise%20Revenue&text=The%20personal%20income%20tax%20had,as%20a%20share%20of%20revenue

"personal income tax had already been introduced (first temporarily during the American Civil War, then permanently in 1913)"

That's from the page you linked, directly refuting the other nutjob's claim, "There is no income tax data prior to ww2, because it was illegal to tax individuals. Everything you earned was yours."
