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.

This is about people who vote for Maga or AfD or whatever your local equivalent is.
Many people have the ideology that they too would become rich, if only there weren't all those regulations like paying for food of people who can't afford it (which again is not true, since they themselves only benefit from it) often citing stuff like bill gates (of course just not believing that he had more than enough venture capital even when called out)
In reality, opening a company is cheaper than ever, with very cheap options to prototype with 3d printing, handle costumer relations via the many payment processors, and provide it with the many Cloud it firms like hetzner.
So if they were living in the perfect world they believe in where things like monopolies didn't exist, they would have no problem becoming a successful entrepreneur.
