Late Stage Capitalism

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,' etc.

Just because the answer was always "no," doesn't mean that we can assume an answer. This is both a logical fallacy and poor scientific method. We should resume our testing as soon as possible.

They're not made out of cake that's ridiculous.

Though there's always a chance, it's never 0, that the rich are made out of a delicious and nutrient rich paste. This paste would satisfy all of our daily nutritional and caloric needs. Frankly we need to test every single billionaire to be sure that they're not made of flavor paste.

Can we start a Kickstarter to fund the billionaire paste machine?

That whole album is crazy. It swings back and fourth between hedonism and awareness.

Awarely hedonistic

It's not their best, but it's my absolute favorite. It just scratches a huge itch for me, those first few songs are a perfect row of rock glory, and plus I grew up playing Revolution X with my late father, who introduced me to the game and band.

"Hedonism and awareness" is PERFECT. It's got "eat the rich" and "I'd rather be OD'in on the crack of her ass" on it.

It goes straight from a song with the line "if you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin" to one that says "flesh the only thing that's worth the sweat". I mean what's not to love about that?

And thus the scientific method was born

It’s amazing that the French are stereotyped as surrendering, but everytime something that they don’t like happens, they shut the country down. I wish we were more like them.

"Cut the cake". I like it.

I'm 99.99% positive Elon Musk is made of cake. I will stake my reputation on this.

If people aren't careful - and they sure as fucking hell aren't - after their little cathartic bloodlust fling they'll end up under the boot of another Robespierre, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, the Gang Of Four, Enver Hoxa, Ceausescu, Hitler, Mussolini, ayatollah, putin... the list goes on, and on, and on, and on...

I'm a little concerned with my mental health that I read that in Mikey Day's voice, and then imagined this as a Netflix special.
