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,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

What I find mindblowing is how people are so quick to blame Democratic voters for something that the Republican party has been orchestrating for so long, and blame them for the limited choices that they have at the ballot box, as if they were personally responsible for the choices they were presented with, instead of pointing at the leadership within the DNC that has been compromised.
Do you see any other Mamdanis anywhere besides AOC and her posse? Do you remember what happened with Bernie and the DNC despite people's overall enthusiasm for him?
Why can't I not see it? A lot of them are DINOs, and it's clear as day. And yet, the people like Ms. Crockett who have been pushing back nonstop on the Senate floor this entire time would never let this happen if it were up to her. You fail to realize your own point: that the Democratic party is heterogeneous with conflicting interests and not by choice of the constituents.
Turn that divisive shit down.
Yeah, I remember Bernie very well. Specially the presidential campaign. I remember the backstabbing at every turn. It was so sad and painful to watch. Only to give Trump his first turn.
That was exactly the DNC's doing. They do it again and again.
Yes, it's almost as if it was never meant to accomplish anything. It's almost as if it was hijacked by corpo shills just waiting to stand against any real progress, while appearing helpless when it's needed.
Fuck the DNC.
