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.

At what point is it stopped being called capitalism and start being called slavery again?

Once we are living in Freedom Cities and essentially serfs without the protection of federal law.

They are going to sabotage any people outside these city-states to force people to submit and live there as slaves rather than starve

Look up Dark Enlightenment, and Network States. This is not conspiracy theory, the VP is vocally in favor of these ideas

This. People would be surprised what you can make at home with a 3D printer.
Registration at this point will only make you a target.

Be ready

Pump action shotguns are under $200 often if you keep looking through /r/gundeals on reddit.

Pay for a class or two to learn the basics of firearm safety. Hunter safety was free for me but I was 14 at the time so maybe it's not like that anymore.

If you're really against firearms you could go with a crossbow. It used to be that you had to be handicapped to use them for deer hunting, but some states are letting non handicapped people use them now.

Venison jerky ain't so bad.

dunno, but you're gonna want support stuff too, not just guns.

i'm not really the guy to give you an in depth overview of the right weapon for you. i have average redneck knowledge of firearms. a good handgun is probably a great start. take what you can get. anything is better than nothing.

More like techno-feudalism or techno-sharecropping than slavery...

[–] asdfasdfasdf 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well it's not slavery - you still get paid.

It's just that everything you're paid and probably more will get sucked back into the economy to pay for necessities to live, and if you don't make enough money to afford that then you die.

But they aren't killing you directly, so not the same thing.
