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.

Didn't used to be that way. Billionaires just bought all of them after Citizens United. Taking care of the billionaires would fix the issue
Buddy, it's always been this way. Just look at how the US treated workers trying to earn the right to strike. Look at McCarthyism.
The owning class of the capitalist elite have always been the ones at the wheel in this country. We are the premier hyper-capitalist nation and have been for this nation's entire existence.
Every gain was made through the blood sweat and tears of the working class fighting in spite of this nation, not because of it.
Might seem that way because the decay of late stage capitalism is only now becoming obvious, but they've always had this relationship with capital.
This is nothing new.
It was exactly like this before CU, that ruling just made it legal. Government has always been the legislative arm of capitalism.
How, when they alone are richer than most nations?
