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.

Don't know if I picked this up somewhere, but I have a saying I oft repeat:
A society will be judged by how it treats the least among them.
Our society fucking hates poor people, and it kills me inside every time I'm reminded of it
It's the decades of conditioning to hate on the poor starting from Reagan is why we are where we are now.
If you want to fix a system, you should probably ask the people who it doesn't work for, first.
I think Jesus even taught that whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me in reference to the poor. Yet the Christian fanatics are the ones doing their best to wreck the lower classes to benefit the richest.
