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.

Nope, doesn't work because power obsessed sociopaths worm their way into government and change the laws
How naive are you?
Yes if you don't enforce it, but you don't want to enforce it now, do you. You love greed until you are on the receiving end
You can't even understand your own mother and here you are making bold assumptions about the personal values of someone you met on the internet half an hour ago. Fucking classic reddit right there man
Greed is the source of nearly all human misery and it is not necessary for life at all, and I have personally witnessed what it has done to people
I do not love greed in any form and the fact you just stated that with such effortless confidence tells me our society really isn't worth saving.
And now these statements, despite being only minor glimpses into my value system will of course immediately fill you with ten thousand assumptions as to who I am or what I think.
That's mental illness friend

If you don't have anything to contribute but meta tags, you don't need to make the effort
Think of the trillions of electrons that died to post your mindvomit
I mean, nobody has to reply on a public internet forum.
Unless you are being forced to reply...wait...that would explain a lot.
Ok, if you are being forced to reply to internet messages against your will, try and add some sort of code in the replies so we can try get you out of that environment, it sounds awful.
Also electrons don't die, don't be silly.
There is, of course, the electron cycle of transmigration of states.
It's like they don't even teach basic electrotheism in school anymore, smh.
They're coming out with some really weird blazor libraries these days.
Dammit, missed the code tags
Are you familiar with anti-trust laws ? Anti-corruption laws ?
According to you they shouldn't exist, because a crafty psychopath will get in anyway & yes you do love being greedy as long as it benefits you, why else would you be defending capitalism.
Socialism HAS been tried & it works. You see I want everyone to get welfare, because with it you can have a safety net against the abusive owner-class. BTW, I've never been on reddit (I don't even have a twitter account)
So I'll be upfront and say i don't know shit about socialism as a concept.
Do you have any examples of socialism that has worked (or is currently working) at modern nation scales ?
I'm genuinely not picking a fight, just looking for examples to read up on.
Concern troll, enjoy your report
oh no, an internet report !
this might even go on my permanent internet record, egads.
Cuba, Laos, Vietnam & the state of Kerala in India. China too (but they shifted to state-capitalism). Most of Latin America were electing socialist leaders as well. (Until some coup came along)
Thanks
