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 always liked to point this out when poor people protest taxes for the very rich.

"What if I become a billionaire some day?? Better safe than sorry."
... the safe being their dead end job, zero life prospects & worsening quality of life, amassing other life problems, looming homelessness, etc,
and the sorry being the unlikely event they wound have to lose a fraction of their obscene wealth for the better of other humans.

Name is too ethnic to resonate with the people who need it most. Please edit attribution to one "Pastor William 'Bill' Smith" and you'll really get the masses out of bed

Paulo Coehlo writes stories about how if you commit hard enough to your dreams they will come true.

He's part of the problem and got rich selling the American dream that you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.
