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.

Anyone else remember when the math came back and universal Healthcare would have saved the US like $11,000,000,000 every year or every 10 years or something.
Anyway, they chose not to do that because Citizens United made bribery legal. They did pass a republican Healthcare plan that didn't actually change anything. Just made it easier to pick who was gonna fuck you and how hard on a convenient website maintained by GovCo.
11bill every 10 years is actually not a lot saved for a nation as large as the US lol annually makes more sense. Either way curious to see the stats
Objectively better by every metric as proven by every actual modern country in the Sol System. AND it's cheaper.
"Either way curious to see the stats"
Do you even hear yourself my guy?
I’m not sure what all the hostility is about given I am inclined to think the savings are actually more and I would like to see the information. I want to know what you’re citing because I think it’s interesting not because I am skeptical, and I agree it’s a better system that will probably save money so having the information is probably a good thing?
Point your guns elsewhere dude, same team
