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.

Its why I stopped reading The Saga of Tanya the Evil, she starts espousing about how capitalism is "gods greatest gift to mankind"..
Before that you thought that the literal Nazi protagonist had good morals?
& the fact that it's you know a Japanese anime. Japan is peak hyper-capitalism
I mean, Marx went on a tear about the unleashing of productive forces under Capitalism. It's a significant meaningful improvement over the absolute monarchies and fractured feudal territorial economies that came before.
Throwing "God" into the equation is definitely fucked. But there's a lot to be said for the benefits of laisse-faire capitalism if the only thing you care about is economic growth. Humans fully divorced from a social code and empowered with industrial technology can make so many fucking paperclips.
To be fair you're really not supposed to agree with Tanya. "Capitalism is God's greatest gift to mankind" sounds about right for an unapologetic psychopath.
