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.

All these systems for control, but I keep thinking to myself that it's a house of cards waiting to fall apart.
It's kind of like holding the leash of a hundred dogs. Something sets them off, and you're face is painting the pavement red.
Likewise, something goes wrong that is not man-made or man-relative and suddenly it's like that scene in Prince of Egypt where the Pharoah is putting his hands forward to stop the water from throwing him back ashore.
You are right but the methods to split us are so refined and well implemented that it won't likely ever happen.
Also, these people only care about having that power and money right now. And it works. ๐คฌ
Never say never.
Tell someone our current state of being some 10 years ago and they'd call you mad.
There's literally enough fools in power anyways to derail themselves under the right conditions.
I'd respond with Ronins' 'don't give me hope'... The situation might be more obvious and (in the US) far more dire now but the state of the world has been heading this way quite some time. We didn't start the fire..
