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.

Is there a point to this legislation? Like what does it actually do.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Vice signals. Still may want to call them to denounce it

Identifies people who need to be voted out

wastes valuable time so they don't have to use it passing something that might actually benefits people.

also brings back red scare because DSA and specifically mamdani are reminding people what politics should be about. can't have that baby, let's bring back McCarthyism!

You know what, suddenly I don't feel so mad about that picture of Hakeem with the sombrero and moustache anymore. Fuck him.

The guy has 100% always been a sellout.

Some say that's the reason he got the job in the first place

The racism can be disparaged just like the loser.

Let's fix that exclusionary headline by removing one word..."Politicians are not your friends".

Of course one is fucking Marie Gluesencamp-Perez. She's basically a moderate Republican who runs as a Democrat because she lives in a purple district.

[–] witten@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

She is such a tool. So pleased with herself, too.

Is this is the second time or is this a repost from when this happened after last mid-term elections ?

Now do one for capitalism. Might be longer due to more examples.

Jefferson's quote could be used to defend against higher taxes on the top brackets, and yet when we did have such taxes we saw high prosperity. So anything can be sold as bad, especially when you use a very broad definition and run with it.

A version of socialism is what provides common services and infrastructures that allows our society to exist. I doubt we want to denounce and get rid of basic needs of the public, paid for by taxes TAKEN from the public.
