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,' etc.

I grew up I a predominantly white neighborhood in a very segregated city, and I heard people harping on riots and unrest in the blacker areas and how that was bad for their neighborhoods. It wasn't until I was older that I heard the argument that the buildings they were looting or burning weren't part of their community. If a large company put a store in their neighborhood and it got looted, it wasn't bad for their community became none of the success of that company was shared by the company - they were essentially just extracting wealth from the area. Some areas having already been flipping the board. We're just getting to the point that more are ready to say "fuck boardwalk!"
