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.

One time I pissed off a bunch of people because they wanted to create a community where food is shared and work is divided.

I said, "Oh that's a commune!" And they all nodded proudly.

Then I said, "Which is the foundation of communism."

And they immediately started flipping the fuck out because people get triggered by that.

I expect the comments below to be the same.

That's why I think it's important to be objective. Like with Objectivism!

Don't forget science and scientology!

In middle or highschool there was a kid who thought I was a scientologist, because they thought it meant atheist.
