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.

"Blue no matter who" is a peace deal, which these guys are breaking.
It matters who, but better blue than red.
So what's the solution in your opinion?
Revolution. Start organizing your community so that real people have political power, not the rich ghouls.
Disrupt their operations by ensuring that they lose elections, even if it's at the cost of handing the seat to a republican. If they are willing to cede a seat to a republican to stop a leftist, leftist must be willing to cede an election to republican in order to stop disrupt anti-socialism.
Obviously, replacing the anti-socialist with a socialist would be the best outcome.
Ok, we've further ceded all elections to Republicans and now they're throwing all leftists and dissenters in prison/camps and have ruined the economy, the education system, started a bunch of wars we can't fund nor win, ruined the environment and privatized every public good. Now what?
Do you think the Democrats would not do the same if a revolutionary movement was built up? They don't even like this wave of social democrats taking office and are working to disrupt that. The tasks remain the same: educate, agitate, organize. Study theory, spread it and create a correct political line, and create a comprehensive political party that is dominated by the working classes.
No, I do not think Democrats would do all of the things I outlined above that I think would happen if Christofascist conservatives got complete power for consecutive terms.
"No I don't think they'd do those things that they've done in the past"
If that's the case, then you need to dig back into how rooting out socialists and communists was and still is a bipartisan affair, how imperialism and genocide are bipartisan, and that nominally being more socially progressive does not mean the DNC pulls punches when demonizing labor organizing.
Given that all those things are already happening, with most Democrats refusing to put up any sort of effective resistance, you don't really have a point.
Are they, though? I get the feeling your definition of that is someone getting elected in the primary that you don't like.
They pushed the guy Mamdani primaries to run as an independent which, for them, only makes sense as an act of sabotage.
"They". Pretty sure that "they" was pretty specific in this case.
Yeah, I just don't remember their names. Notice how I referred to Mamdani's opponent as "the guy he was running against"?
