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.

Same thing if you ask MSM-poisoned people if they think ethnostates are inherently unjust and dysfunctional without first mentioning that Israel is one.
Dang, haven't played in a while but I guess even My Singing Monsters isn't safe, that's discouraging
..huh?
Dude, I'm not sure "ethnostate" isn't some fucking used-car-lot buzzword like "the spend", but I know Israel has done a lot of bad shit to everyone around them.
Maybe account for jargon?
Allow me to put you at ease, then: it's not.
An ethnostate is a country that enforces by law the supremacy of one ethnicity at the expense of all others.
Examples other than Israel include Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, most of the former Yugoslavian Republics during the war in the 90s, as well as current day countries such as several Muslim/Arab majority countries, Hungary, Russia, Belarus, and increasingly the US.
How is that different from China, Japan, South Korea, or any of countless other countries with a dominant ethnicity and laws that try to preserve it? Heck, I would even call Quebec an ethnostate if it were independent of Canada.
What laws do they have to preserve their ethnicity?
I'm not sure what laws those three specific examples have, but they allow foreigners to emigrate there and live there. An ethnostate would be violently opposed to the idea; think Stephen Miller in the US, he literally wants all non whites removed by force.
Now I'm not expert and it's possible that those 3 examples do still count. But unlike Israel, with the exception of China, they are not currently right now commiting genocide. So it's still different, except for China, and people who are paying attention are also mad at China.
