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 wrote that, posted it, and check it. I discovered it was wrong in under 30 seconds and didn't think you would have read it. I was wrong. I had finished editing it before you posted your reply. I've edited the link to reflect my edit.
As for your second edit, if you see no fruits in understanding the basic concepts then you and I operate in different ethical worlds. Reading your writings is difficult. It's meandering and unclear without a clear idea that you're building an argument around. Layered on top of it a sense of certainty that you haven't earned and allergic defensiveness when others notice and point it out. It's not worth discussing anything with you until you have some ability to demonstrate even the most basic understanding of the core concepts.
You are using words you don't understand to create some respectably-appearing text, except one can have a good intelligent discussion constantly swearing and making spelling mistakes in half the words and using "that thing which ..." and analogies instead of terms, but just not losing logic and deontology, and one can have a pretentious text like yours after trying insults and arrogant statements about things you can't possibly know anything about.
I don't remember what my argument was and about what, and I don't care, because you yourself chose to address things irrelevant to it with ridiculing tone and all that and are only now playing a virgin, pretending you can have a civilized discussion.
And what's more,
you're still lying while pretending, trying to put words into your opponent's mouth, and all that.
People doing something useful don't try to prove that such cheating is wrong, they simply discard those who are trying to cheat.
