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.

So what? So you lose all of your investors, from billionaires to small investors of pensions, and everyone in between.
That's a massive part of any economy... and you won't get any more money from any of them, all will invest elsewhere where their money won't be seized.
This would be very, very bad for your economy for many years (at least).
That's so what. Don't get me wrong, this would be hilarious and you should do it as soon as possible.
Why would small investors pull out? They wouldn't be impacted by this stuff in any meaningful way.
Thats just an absurd slippery slope argument. It just doesn't follow reality at all, but let’s assume it did, and that you are right.
So you lose out on selfish people who want to be the takers, but aren't yet.. you lose out on them investing in crap that only or largely benefits them, because anyone who isn't just out for themselves would not be deterred by this sort of thing. So what? Where’s the loss here? You miss out on making more billionaires. Oh no.
