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.

I live in a medium sized southern town (US) and it's already happening. We have one homeless shelter that I drive past every day. It's mostly folks 50 and over. Several in wheelchairs. I've seen at least two folks in chairs with no legs. The crowd seems to get bigger every month. There's a row of abandoned businesses across the street and lots of them set up tents there during the day. Some just sleep on the ground out in the open. One of the deepest red states btw.
And that is with (sort of) functioning social security.
well at least you have shelters. some communities not even have that. oh and if you set up your own tent, guess what, that's illegal too.
they just passed a law that makes "public camping" illegal here. GOP is trying so hard to make being poor a crime. reminds me of a line in that Mel Brooks movie Life Stinks. "They forced us to live in the crap, and now they want to take the crap away!"
Did they vote Dems or GOP?
in small rural communities, there's often only one political organization. i've been there, i've seen it. i wanted to vote left but guess what, they don't even run. and those that do are fringe groups with no connections.
