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.

Right!? Then when I take a vacation and don't respond to tickets my boss has a 'talk' with me about how much Brenda is doing for the company and how she was on her laptop every night clearing tickets. So I'm on the job when I'm being paid, I'm on the job when I'm not being paid because if I let a ticket sit for an hour cause I'm cooking dinner I'm somehow not respecting the companies time and I'm on the job when I'm on vacation. I need to be ready to jump onto my laptop at a moment's notice for the same reason.

Oh yeah and it's good to hear from my manager that there are over 1000 resumes sitting on his computer for the ghost job my boss keeps up just so he can say how easy we all are to replace.

And I'm expected to treat that person with the utmost respect. I hate my job, but I'd hate being homeless more so.
