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.

In this context, "Democrats" could be understood to mean the DNC, party leadership, and their favored corporate politicians. Obviously the people electing the democratic socialists aren't the ones opposing the democratic socialists, but we're talking about the people who have enough resources and connections to screw with us, and do, despite them saying that the party is progressive, a big tent, and that we should always support the candidates regardless of how much they align with us.
"Not all dems" is about as useful to the conversation as "not all cops" or "not all men" is to their respective discussions. Technically correct by a very literal interpretation of those words, but completely missing and/or obscuring, the point.
