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.

I provided two possible quotes. Ofc they need some working since I'm not good at that.

More possibilites:

If you get paid the same for working hard than the guy next to you that spends the whole working day staring at the phone, you're not free

If your manager just "manages" you and gets paid double, you're not free

If you have to stay the 8h even after your job is done, you're not free

If you have to ask for permission to go to the doctor you're not free

If you have to ask for permission to take your vacation days you're not free

If your wage increases don't even keep up with inflation, you're not free

If your rent is more than 10% of your 40h/week wage, you're not free
