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.

The reason why there are currently two right-wing parties, is because the majority of people in them favor right-wing policies. If you replace that majority with people who favor left-wing policies...then that party is no longer a right-wing party.
The party is simply a reflection of the people in it. And those people are a reflection of the voters that elected them.
The reason there are two deeply unpopular right wing parties is because capitalists control the state and the economy, and thus pick who the working classes can pick from.
Lol! Why do you still insist that these assumptions are valid, when recent events have already proved them wrong? Or are you just going to bury the truth under more layers of conspiratorial thinking, so you don't have to acknowledge it?
The majority chooses who runs the state. Capitalists have simply convinced you that they're the ones in charge of everything, and that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as you choose to believe them, then they are right.
