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.

Should be Vimes' Boots Theory, GNU Terry Pratchett. Many have said it, but he kicked it right in the nuts.
The opening sentence is "the Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory"
Didn't say Pratchett's Boots theory, he was way too modest. I just personally think he's likely one of the best satirists of his era (happy to compare to Swift's Gulliver's Travels but with significantly more uplifting) and deserves the recognition, can we not stretch to title it with one of his more beloved characters, likely similarly modest, something of a lost art these days.(I will admit I should take it up with wiki rather than here, more comfortable here though).
