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,' Tankie, etc.

I strongly disagree, and to prove my point, for the next four years trump will create chaos and dysfunction the likes of which your genetic progeny will feel.
It did not have to go that way, but because people didn’t vote against him, it will. And that’s infuriating and disgusting.
Okay, keep voting the lesser of two evils. The thing here is that there needs to be a massive change and it doesn’t happen by propping up a broken system with shortsighted hopes. Personally, I hope the next four years do enrage people to the point that we actually get up and react.
Four years is a very long time. On a planet with maybe not that many left to go. It's an enormous waste, and incredibly short-sighted.
Accelerationism depends on people suffering, which, again - wasn't necessary.
