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.

Why change the system when there is so much money to be made...
Political corruption is now embedded so deeply into the American system.
Foreign nations buy politicians, rich buy policies. The supreme court are now an extension of the republican party and those free holidays sure do help also they have jobs for life.
The president could nuke every blue state in America and not commit a crime.
It's fucked, it's a platform for dictatorship and corruption and political funding and grift has exacerbated it. Of course a party that has languished in powerless opposition isn't going to give any of that up. Of course they won't stop themselves insider trading.
And the military, they pledge a meaningless oath and are too weak to put an end to a tyrannical system.
