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.

You can hate both sides. The Iranian regime has killed substantially more Iranians (this year) than the USA has. Doesn't make the USA a good country, both countries are shit. The main difference is that the USA is a developing theocracy whereas Iran is an established one.
I'd say the main difference is thay the USA has nuclear weapons and has killed dozens of millions of innocents, while Iran has only tried both and so far failed.
The people killed in Iran were killed by US and shitrael funded and armed traitors shooting at civilians not by 'the regeeeeem'.
And it's unfortunately a few 1000's, not the 30-40ooo's the propaganda wants to make it as justification for their warcrimes.
And to even think the USSA killed less people is disgusting.
I've met a lot of Iranians. None of them want to live in a theocracy. And none of them doubt for a minute that they've been executing protesters. Iranians themselves tend to be pretty secular people living under a bullshit theocracy.
Again, I have absolutely no love for the USA or Israel and absolutely despise trump. But don't go round claiming Iran is anything other than an oppressive dictatorship.
You can meet a lot of 'Cubans' too in Florida or wherever that don't like the Cuban government.
Gusano opinions don't count.
Exactly like those anecdotal 'Iranians' you met.
All those definitely not-astroturfed protests in the USSA waving shitraeli flags.
If you would believe the western mouthpieces everyone in Iran is against their government and wants the shah back.
If that were the case then why didn't a revolution happen since they're being bombed and the fuhrer and shitrael have tried their best infiltrating?
They had a revolution once, and it was exactly against this torturing dictator puppet regime installed by the US.
I and you may not like the theocracy, don't use it as an excuse for their regime change operations.
It's their choice to decide on their country and they vastly support it.
You're using the same BS hasbarats use to whitewash the genocide in Palestine.
But look what they do to the gays, we need to bomb them into freedom!
You do you 👍
A well argued reply as expected.
I don't see much point in arguing with someone like you. A member of the irgc could literally tell you to your face "I have personally killed 10 children" and you would still blame America, because your entire political identity is based on America bad, Israel bad. You're immune to reason so I'd be wasting my time.
They couldn't tell me because they don't do that. That's factually americans and shitraelis.
My entire political identity is factually based on America bad, Israel bad.
You can't argue with me because you can't win on facts.
You don't offer reason or facts only propaganda in return.
Now run, get back in your Tel Aviv basement
