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.

And you had the supposed liberals saying: "You know what? We need our own Elon Musk." as a response to all of the election loss.
Totally Dems. Keep helping make everyone poorer. That's a winning strategy.
What you need to do is divest yourselves of these billionaire leeches and embrace the working class.
It has a sort of logic to it. In a capitalist system to best way to fight is using massive amounts of money. Or violence. And the choices seem rather limited these days...
It really doesn't, especially when you look at the amount of enthusiasm Bernie's campaign generated. This isn't the 90's anymore and people aren't prospering like they have historically.
But Bernie lost anyways because he didn't have the support of the capitalist elite, who as we can see are the true determiners of election outcomes.
Bernie lost because Democrats have no principles and subverted the democratic primary process via superdelegates.
And Democrats follow the will of the capitalist elite. They won't allow anyone to come to power who would substantially challenge the status quo, no matter how much support they have from the people.
You're not wrong, but that statement doesn't give them proper credit for the reprehensible fuckery they pulled during the 2016 primary.
