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.

Fundamentally humans are social creatures, and we have an inherent tendency towards pro-social behaviour (with some exceptions due to mental health issues). We like doing things. We like doing things for other people. And doing something for the greater good/greater community instills us with a sense of pride and accomplishment
Hell, I want to do things for the benefit of society, and my biggest barriers to that are a society that pushes me past my limits leading to burnout, and then I'm useless and feel useless. If I just got the support I needed when I needed it, it would be better for everyone in the long run
