Late Stage Capitalism

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 cannot wait to watch Musk wear a blindfold while his sentence is read VERY LOUD to him. It WILL happen.

I'm sure people said the same about the robber barons a century ago. Sadly they all died of old age surrounded by luxury. I'd like to think justice has caught up a bit, but... well, ruthless rich fucks have been dying of old age in luxury for a long time.

this one is easy to look up, too... the last time rich fucks got culled en masse was like...the french revolution?

and arguably that kind of event does set a country back. it just acts as a unifying "other" for the rich fucks, most of whom content themselves living a life of hedonism, occasional self-fellating/inefficient act of volunteerism (helps forget where their $ comes from), and maybe occasionally fucking over someone in some petty social grudge.

random acts of violence mostly just create more problems, build resentment etc....targeted acts of violence is what solves problems

unrelated, but the proper capitalists happen to be a much smaller, purposefully isolating group.
