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.

It's not even the top 1% that are the problem, it's the top 0.1% who are hoarding all the resources.
And the bottom 30% voting them into power... So...
The .1% are not elected officials but are instead controlling them. Billionaires and capitalism are the root of the problem.
Nah it's my neighbors fault who are just rich enough to survive off moldy bread and expired meats from the food bank but too poor to do anything aside from watch TV for hours on end after their 12 hour shift or surviving (stealing!) $800 a month to survive from my taxes.
There's no one else to blame, don't look behind the curtain, no inquires, back to your scheduled programming.
It's a culture war, not a class war.

Citizens United, and other initiatives that allow obscene and often obscure funding into politics, need to be stopped.
