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.

While you completely ignore communist fascism.
that's an oxymoron.
Is it? I'm hot here championing capitalism, but are you prepared to ignore the following? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_the_Baltic_states https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Ceau%C8%99escu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enver_Hoxha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mengistu_Haile_Mariam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Axis_talks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact
Is this your marxism fantasy? Fucking over the working people for some cunts to enrich themselves by subjugating people? I would love a socialist society that actually benefits people, but it seems like all of this ml crowd doesn't give a fuck about actual working people.
I'm fairly convinced by this comment that you're not aware of what fascism is. Because while we can all deplore the horrors of the Khamer Rogue there is no way to describe it as capitalist. Yet you cannot be a fascist without capitalism. Essentially that's what fascism is, capitalism in overdrive. You're talking about authoritarianism, of which there is plenty to deplore.
communism is a stateless classless society. fascism is a rigidly stratified society that venerates the state. you can't be a communist fascist.
Except that's absolutely not true.
Do you consider kim jung un to be of the same class as the rest of north korea?
Did you consider Joseph Stalin to be the same class as the soviet states?
It's insane that you ignore this shit
sounds like those aren't communist societies
I could cite communist societies, but I know the no-true-scotsman game. suffice to say you have yet to cite a stateless, classless society.
I am very much against fascist, imperialist dictatorships and I refuse to accept that as the requirement to have communism.
You absolutely are not.
Do you know what the soviet union did?
when have I ever made any apology for any state?
Okay, that's fair.
Fuck the USSR. Fuck North Korea. Fuck Israel. Fuck the US.
great. the Democrats and the Republicans, right?
What's the alternative?
revolution, I think.
So, nothing. No plan to improve anyone's life. Just some hypothetical system and no plan to improve anything in societies where you can vote for things.
voting isn't a plan to destroy the usa any more than North Korea or the USSR. surely you don't think the Democrats or Republicans supoort the subversion of the country.
Don't you remember the Stalinist paradise that the USSR was in the 50's!?
