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.

I agree with the sentiment on its own, but Lenin didn't exactly do a very good job of building anything long term anti-capitalist. If anything, Soviet Union just devolved into state-flavored capitalism very quickly.

It's all state capitalism.

That's true of any group that has too much power. Right now in the USA we have a bunch of nuts idolizing a dictator. They say they want to return American freedoms while at the same time they want to take away your rights.

We have that same thing regardless which flavor of fascism sits in the WH

They'll keep pretending that Biden stuck to his word and had the interests of the citizens at heart past the point of the initial Covid vaccinations, because he became a stock market warlord pretty shortly afterwards.
