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.

That's fair, although this paragraph buried at the bottom of the post felt more like a disclaimer than anything. Yes, I'm white, and I have never wondered if I should join the Black Panthers and I have no issue with the fact that it's not a space for me. I clicked on the post because I was interested in hearing a well-articulated explanation of why it is important to that organization to be, for lack of a better word, discriminatory in it's membership as well as what people who find the concept of armed protest appealing can do instead. And instead of getting either of those things, 90% of the article was "lol, white people and their lattes, am I right?"
