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.

Frankly, has that "this is what you get since you voted for Trump" vibe - this is the exact moment we need to bring these people into the fold, not mock and further alienate them.

You expect the people who have been oppressed, labelled terrorists, and silenced to "bring these people into the fold"; The same assholes who bootlick and enable powerful cunts to propagate their vile ways as the only way that works?

Yes. Do you want to get shit done or do you just want to feel superior to others? At a certain point you just have to be practical and use what you can. You can be mad about it, but pushing people away when they're trying to at least turn away from the really bad shit is just petty and unhelpful. I don't like that people voted for Trump, but if they're willing to go against that now, I'll take what I can get. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The message is bipartisan

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They’re goners. Can’t bring them back. They vote against their best interests.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are their best interest socialist or Democrat

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I would take either if it moved the needle in the correct direction.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Democrats will move the needle to the right
