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.

You need more of a plan than “I hate my job, I want to start a business.”

You don’t even say what kind of business. House painting? Landscaping? Financial consultancy? Church?

How would running the whole business be better than working for someone else? How would it be worse?

No money? There are some knowledge worker consultant-type businesses you might be able to start with no capital but you either need a bunch of money to sustain you through the early months/years or have another income.

Without a clear goal and plan you’re better off keeping your job and doing stuff on the side and see how that goes.
