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.

The most important aspect is control.
If it's all digital they can cut you off at any moment, as they are doing now with certain journalists.
After the 2008 financial 'crisis' they had to decide on bail outs to reward the scammers.
After that they left their gambling system intact, nobody (except in Iceland) got punished and we will inevitably have another crash.
But they did change it for us suckers who paid for it the first time.
Now there is a bail in system where they will simply take anything above a certain amount on your account.
Not only being able to be cut off, they can know specifically that any given person buys. There will be zero privacy
