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.

Fair and realistic. At which point can a person be blamed and disregarded for making the conscious decision of killing innocents though?
Morally, no people? Realistically, I suppose it depends on how much propaganda and indoctrination they were exposed to allowing some shift of blame to the state. However, after killing one innocent person deliberately because "orders", no amount of environmental cause is enough to remove all of the blame. They consciously chose to obey that order instead of disobeying.
Have you heard of the Milgram experiment? It takes an incredible amount of strength, that most people don't have, to disobey orders from authority, even if you think the orders are immoral.
That's not the point. Somebody can be perpetrator and victim at the same time. And justice would mean they get the proper treatment for both. Not a calculation and only the difference left after the subtraction.
