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.

True, but in 2014, Donald was a similar upstart candidate, and one with a history of supporting progressive causes and cozying up with Democrats.

We now know that Donald is whoever he surrounds himself with, but at the time, the politics made it make sense for Republicans to oppose him.

Then please continue proceed with caution when someone promises to act in a progressive cause, all the while having populist power. As progressives, we have to be ready to oppose those that wish to oppress us.

Proactive caution is better than ignorance.
