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.

NASA was a 200% return on investment when it was cut due to being "too expensive" by Nixon

FWIW I think both US and China are terribly flawed systems.
Ids like comparing the Mongolian empire and the Crusaders. They both sucked ass.
The good within a border never justifies the evil inherent in its maintenance, at least not in the long run.
Though both of your example are invaders so 🤷
Imperialistic was what I was going for, both of which are prime examples of their eras version. Don't be fooled by pretty language China and the US are beth imperial powers and both deserve to be sent to the dustbin of history.
