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.

Tankies are fascists in red clothing.

So Trump doesn't pretend to represent people? Literally his whole election ran on saying he was going to represent every particular voting block, even of those he's now deporting.

Seems like the guy is stuck in "grass is always greener" type of mindset, except if instead of focusing on it being greener focusing on it not being as green instead. Thing is, because of shitty bipartisan systems, you will always have this. You will have the party that games the systems and appeals to whatever easy low effort populisms there are, and there is the party that has to encompass the rest of a literal world of different viewpoints and ideologies and try to find the compromise which will never be perfect for anyone in particular. It's why they always have to throw out labels to see what sticks, since no label really represents Democrats. Not all Democrats are "woke", "gays", or "antifa".

Blame the game, not the player. Who is more likely to reform the game in a positive way, and who is more likely to reform the game in a negative way? Get rid of your shitty two (or really one party, depending on how much you've been indoctrinated/informed, since the other one is Satan incarnate) party system.

This guy wants you to throw your vote away.

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.

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

"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.

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

[–] gwheel@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 week 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 1 week 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

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

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

"Lap dogs" might be more accurate.
