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.

If they don't have food because they can't afford it, the kid should just starve rather than the school having to front the cost?
A child not having food security while attending school is a societal failure. If we can afford to spend more than multiple countries combined on our military and send billions in military aid to other countries and have more billionaires than any other country, we can afford to publicly subsidize public school lunch.
Fuck your "they knew how the system worked" stance. That's a lazy excuse that allows you to blame poor people for being poor rather than challenging the validity of the system.
