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.

No, I don't want to drive home the idea that nothing changes, I want to change things, while you want to maintain the material conditions that led to the rise of this regime.

Best of luck driving voter turnout with that hogwash.

Absolutely nothing is more urgent than ending the Trump regime.

Absolutely all of your rhetoric will keep, and can be cranked out after the elections are over.

Any mooing that you care to offer in terms of what you think should be done, does not require voter suppression rhetoric.

It really is that simple. Behave in a manner that helps Trump, or behave in a manner that helps dump Trump.

And this proves you're blue MAGA. It's all just a sports game to you.

You want Trump out just for the sake of having Trump out. There's no plan beyond that. There's no accountability beyond that. It's all just "get their guy out and my guy in." Your goal isn't to exact certain policy goals, as otherwise that would be your number one priority. Personally, if Trump pulled a reverse Fetterman tomorrow, had a stroke, and suddenly became progressive, I wouldn't want him out of office. Getting him out is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

And this proves that you were a very slippery baby. Meanwhile, I'll keep my elbows up.

It's all just a sports game to you.

Jesus H Fucking Christ. You are stating a goal that every human with empathy should have.

There's no plan beyond that.

Close the Concentration Camps. Prosecute the Epstein Class. Hunter down and prosecute all ICE agents. Smash Palantir. Smash Data centers. Implement universal Healthcare.

Speak for your own limited lack of vision.

There's no accountability beyond that. It's all just "get their guy out and my guy in."

The goal is to put an end to a fascist regime, instead of letting it gain momentum. Holy fuckity fuck you're extra comfy with the status quo.

Your goal isn't to exact certain policy goals, as otherwise that would be your number one priority.

Stopping fascism. The fascism, and the act of stopping it. Op stay the ascism fay.

My number one priority is stopping fascism.

That thing that I want again: stopping fascism.

Personally, if Trump pulled a reverse Fetterman tomorrow, had a stroke, and suddenly became progressive, I wouldn't want him out of office. Getting him out is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

When the time to act decisively comes, just stay out of the way.

Getting rid of trump will change absolutely nothing. Liberals that talk like this act like changing a cog in the machine will change how the machine operates. Trump is a byproduct of 50 years of neoliberal politics , they need to be protesting the system that enables someone like Trump to rise, otherwise, the version you get of him next time will be 10 times worse than this one. Which is what leftist told liberals back in 2016 would happen if you allowed Trump to win his first term, And again in 2020 when we warned that the second term of trump would be 10 times worse than his first when you nominated a neoliberal old white guy that nobody wanted

You have a soft stance on Concentration Camps.

I haven't read anything past your idiotic first sentence.

If nothing is more urgent, and toppling the regime requires voter turnout, then it would stand to reason that perhaps encouraging voter turnout is key? That seems self-evident to me. And the Democrats (and you) ain't gonna get it done by offering the same ol' same ol' that failed to generate turnout for Harris.

On the other hand, people could barely wait to vote for Mamdani.

Maybe there's a lesson there.
