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.

These are not unprecedented times, they've done this time and time again, which is why their history does matter. Liberals thought the same change was gonna change when the squad got elected. None of them were given any positions of power or influence until they started parroting the same party bullshit, and the ones that didn't are never talked about anymore. They thought Hope and Change™ was gonna bring about progress, but we ended up with another Reagan in blackface, or as Malcolm X called them, a house negro.
They've been given multiple chances over multiple decades, they have no interest in allowing the system to change that they benefit from so much. Which is why the party and their voters fight harder to prevent leftists from gaining a foothold than they do Republicans.
