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 rest of the world may lag behind, but someday everyone will have the 63 shampoo flavors
We have the best of both worlds. 63 shampoo flavors and unemployment support.
My dream is instead of three people that own all 63 shampoo flavors, the workers own them
Get out of here you filthy socialist commy anarchist antifa wanker! That would benefit the people...think of the billionaires who would suffer!
Buy a cottage industry shampoo, they exist. Or make your own. You can find recipes online.
Stop supporting the structures of economic repression that you claim to oppose.
Right...can't criticize the system you live under...you're so smart. Why don't you fill us all in on your genius big brain ideas the rest of us are too slow to understand.
I didn't say you can't criticize the system. I gave you an example of the thing you were saying is your "dream," as if it didn't already exist.
You wanna take practical steps to achieving your dream? Support cottage industries. You wanna just fantasize about it and not do anything to support it? By all means, continue buying corporate shampoo brands.
Insulting people for mentioning practical steps to improve society when all you wanna do is sit and complain about the way things are is... a take...
Yes, you have concessions by the ruling class. For now...
TBH nowadays I don't think the US Federal government would ever give a single concession as they are now. Probably would rather roll in the military than make medication a bit cheaper.
Well yea that was the goal of all those concessions , to keep the working class pacified while they consolidated power towards the owning class. Now they have consolidated that power and dismantled the foundations which bred the resistance efforts of the past and are comfortable in their assumptions they can now freely abuse the people without the need to make concessions.
We have reached the point that they were warning would come about by accepting these concessions as if they were progress.
