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.

PREACH!

I work with an Alex Jones fan.. He went batshit a few years ago when up in Michigan, black men with semi-automatic rifles were seen publicly protecting their representatives after the whole MAGA kidnapping thing unfolded.

His line was "The blacks are being trained for the race war!" And I scoffed and asked him if he remembered the video I showed him of the gang bangers in Chicago having a running gun battle as they tore up the streets in their cars.. I was like, "Dude, the brothers already know how to use guns.. What do you think the metal detectors in high schools in the inner cities for the last few decades has been about?"

Oh yeah.. the penny dropped and he went quiet about it pretty quick.

Which was amazing because at the time the guy never shut up about all the MAGA conspiracies. Drove me up a tree.
