Late Stage Capitalism

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.

The ruling class of America sees the mayoral elections of Mamdani and Wilson as more dangerous and threatening than Trump and MAGA.

That's why they've been fighting socialist and communist ideology for over 100 years. It would give us real power in politics and they would lose the privileges afforded to them by the status quo.

Watching the Mamdani election play out was wild. Seeing the biggest challenge being 2 people from the same side argue and talk crap for months was disgusting. Siding with Trump on top of it all because of how scared they were. They were so desperate they had no choice but to not even pretend anymore, like when Biden magically started winning against Bernie in 2020. The next 10 years will be even weirder as more people catch on.

This guy wants you to throw your vote away.

Honest my ass. They lie almost as much as their orange hogfather

Same energy as the Fox News classic "you complain about police violence but you never complain about gang violence".

I don't vote for Republicans. Never have, never will. I do engage with Democrats, and tell them my needs and expectations.

The lesser evil argument again. We can research democracy and try to explain to the self proclaimed democratic world leader how it works (btw usa is rated extremely low on the democracy index)

What y'all are yearning for has a name

Democracy

Don't let them pretend you have that when you don't

"Which of these two ways do you want to be fucked," is NOT democracy. Democracy is when power is accessible and attainable to any citizen with good ideas who makes the effort.

Man, Russian propaganda really did a number on your country

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 4 days ago

You are so blinded by western propaganda that everything that defy it is propaganda.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

US politics is a result of US propaganda

"Both sides are the same but the dems are worse" - said by nobody who is paying attention. There is a reason 'both sides' is exclusively weaponized towards one party and not the other.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Republicans don't pretend to care. We know exactly what to expect from them

[–] gwheel@lemmy.zip 39 points 6 days ago (11 children)

Still doesn't make both parties the same. People saying they're the same are trying to convince you not to vote, which consistently benefits one party and absolutely does not move our government to the left.

One of them are wolves in sheep clothing. The other are just wolves, period.

You know to shoot the wolves.

Billionaires plan is now: it’s an IMMEDIATE THREAT IF VOTERS JOIN THE DEMS

the will do everything in their power (like this meme) to drive you away

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

billionaires fund democrats too lmao

the fact that so many people (and presumably you) think "voting for the lesser evil" is the end all be all of political engagement is perhaps one of the bourgeoisie’s greatest victories

At least in Canada we have an ineffective third party that capitalists don't even bother to capture.

The DNC and Dem leadership are the guard dogs of Fascism. The rest don't matter.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

"Lap dogs" might be more accurate.
