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 guess we'll just take your word for it then? Especially since there are comments in this thread already talking about how it started earlier than you say. You give no source and not even a compelling argument and we are just supposed believe you?
It wasn't like a "one day we weren't capitalist, and the next day we were" type thing, it was a gradual shift as I understand it, from mercantilism and feudalism.
I'm backing bloup but also too lazy to search up a source. Capitalism wasn't truly a thing until the industrial revolution
Edit: Multiple other comments have sources for that
