Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
That puts too much blame on individuals instead of the system. These aren't bad apples, the system isn't broken. The system works as intended, it's just that most of us are on the losing end. Also: there is no alternative.
The alternative is called socialism.
I would specifically want the Mutualist kind, not the Marxist one. Direct stakeholder ownership helps keep things from being too bureaucratic and prevents a top-down power grabs.
The system is broken, though. It's unsustainable in the long term. There are alternatives.
I hope you know I don't disagree with you. The system is unsustainable for sure, we need a new one. It can't be fixed because there is no "fixed" or good or green capitalism (hence it's not broken because it was never meant to be sustainable). My last sentence was a Thatcher quote I quoted ironically.
