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.

It's so much worse than that. Algorithmic pricing represents the death of what little remains of the American dream. What's the point of going to college, going to trade school, or working hard to improve your situation in any way? Every time you get a raise, the algorithms will figure out your income is higher, raise all the prices, and completely cancel out your salary increase. What's the point of doing anything to better your own earning potential at that point? All jobs effectively collapse to subsistence wages, regardless of the amount you're actually taking home. Might as well just get the least miserable job you can find and just work that until you die of old age.
