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.

No, I'm a communist that sees your parties from the outside, their differences are superficial and their similarities are vast
"both sides bad" is such a juvenile take. It's myopic. Yes, both sides are bad, but one side is clearly worse than the other. Not being able to handle that shows an inability to let go of binary thinking.
There's a difference between a stubbed toe and a broken leg, and looking down on people who don't want a broken leg and are trying to keep the "break everyone's legs" party out of power is just dumb.
It's liberals with the binary thinking. There are no 2 sides bad because the US is run by one oligarchy, and it's bad. There is no good shade of fascism.
Again, because you didn't seen to grasp this, there's bad, and then there's worse. Yes, both are bad. We get that, you're a good communist. But you don't think that Mamdani is the same level of evil as Trump, do you?
Demsocs keep you rounded up in the oligarchy with delusions that things will get better while they still exploit the global south and cater first to the wealthy
Yeah, and? Republicans are worse than that. I already know Democrats are bad.
