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.

Democrats have never been concerned about easing the struggle of the working class. Their purpose is to pacify the working class with meaningless gestures, and hollow platitudes

Well, to be fair, comunism also created poverty.

Maybe it's the shity humans that get elected (or not), that create poverty, not necessarily the system

Government is the legislative arm of capitalism. Capitalism is designed to concentrate wealth at the top at the expense of the working class.

No. Capitalism punishes socialism systems (communism never existet) so poverty can rise even in them.

The main problem of humankind is capitalism.
