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.

I was gonna ask, hey you guys I just got here, whats going on with the Uighurs?
No war in ba sing sa type ass
I'm afraid that's not correct :/
If a person calls themself a leftist and they genuinely believe it, then they are a leftist.
You don't get to gatekeep the movement. Sorry.
This meme is itself an example of leftist infighting; you could have been supportive but you chose to divide people instead. Trump would LOVE you.
Democrats call themselves leftists all the time while supporting non leftist policies and politicians while believing their party is left of center. It's no different than MAGA believing they are Christian despite being nothing like their Christ.

Political ideologies are not defined by "belief" or your feelings, you are extremely incorrect and probably also a liberal, gatekeeping is great when the people being excluded are objective awful
Exactly. Fascists don't consider themselves fascist. Words have meaning. Your beliefs don't meet a specific ideological definition simply because you feel like they should.
Lemmy in a fucking nutshell.
"You're not LEFTY enough! You must pass my purity tests or you are MAGA!"
Bullshit like this is why we'll never get anywhere. Any of you assholes notice America is now a fascist country? Anyone know how they got control? By not fucking fighting among themselves, that's fucking how.
We're going to have to take in some people who aren't 100% in agreement with every fucking point. THAT'S a hard pill to swallow.
Its a fascist country because liberals decided that 50 years of incremental fascism was acceptable, except you called it lesser evil. This is a bed liberals made for themselves and now cry that they dont like the monster they helped create
Which group is the one saying "if Gavin Newsom is the democratic nominee for President, and you vote for him, you must be transphobic"?
considering newsom does not want to end capitalism...
What does that have to do with transphobia?
Hate and bigotry is good for business. Solidarity and community is good for labor.
Gavin Newsom, the guy that makes George w bush look like a leftist?
Back in the aughts, I remember people calling him a Nazi when he was running for mayor of San Francisco. I thought it was hyperbole. It's less clear than I realized.
He did a photo-op of personally destroying a homeless encampment, and is trying to outflank Trump’s right. He’s a nightmare.
there are none, because there are none to begin with. center right is the best you got in USA.
