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.

Hobbies are also a thing. Even if they don't work, at least they won't be criminals. Poverty is a major predictor/pre-requisite for criminal activities.
Infinite profit is a capitalist feature not a "USA problem" the media never fought for the working class because it seeks profit as well, the capitalist can buy it the working class cannot
On the other hand, if nobody would work, or even want to do the dirty jobs like trash removal, we wouldn't be able to have a functioning society.
These sort of comments are almost a non sequitur as they just take ridiculous ideas from capitalism.
Capitalism is fine as long as it's controlled well. Any system that doesn't have the right laws in place to limit it would be abusive within minutes. Put laws in place to restrict how much wealth each single person can have, for example, that would be way more productive than writing up nonsense like this

Even if you wanted to opt out of capitalism, I can't even think of how a poor person would manage to live legally in the US. You basically have to be a hobo constantly in fear of being arrested (and then in prison you're definitely a slave). You can't just go out into nature and build your own homestead like people used to do.
