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 think I need to clarify something that you may not be aware of.
The individuals who label themselves as "democrats" in order to win political seats are not Democrats.
Democratic positions are inherently anti fascist.
However. There are many individuals whose agendas align with conservative and Republican views, who run as "democrats".
Word is , people are calling them corp Dems. Corrupt Dems. Or blue maga.
All of these terms work.
These wolves in sheep's clothing are the primary reason that the Democratic party isn't putting a stop to Trump's illegal actions.its why so many Dems voted with trump on cabinet picks and budgets. Why so many never passed laws to protect vulnerable groups.
They have lied about who they were.
And they have gotten away with it for some time because people weren't paying attention. I was such a person.
But now we are.
No more pac. No more aipac.
Anyone siding with Israel is out.
More people are paying attention and their charades are over.
Capitalism, which Democrats support, is inherently fascist. It sounds like you support some level of reform which is a surefire path towards failure. Any threats to the current power structure within the party are eliminated before they become a threat to that power.
I'm a Democrat and I don't support capitalism.
I think you are confusing what specifically defines party affiliation.
The Democratic party is over half the country population.
There are certainly a lot of individual opinions on economic systems but mostly Democrats push towards socialism.
With socialism sometimes being defined as the transition stage between capitalism and true communism.
Although some democrats definitely see socialism as the end goal.
I myself see socialisms inevitable failure (socialism policies being undone) if capitalism is allowed to continue without the end goal of communism being continuously pursued.
Every policy for the people will inevitably be undone when oligarchs challenge it. And they will.
They are doing it right now with all the EPA, labor laws, and safety laws being removed (in the U.S).
democrats have never pushed towards socialism, they constantly punch left to protect the right. They will defend fascism to protect their own self interests and privilege the status quo gives them. Claiming to be a dem and not support capitalism is like being an atheist christian
Do you know any Democrats.? Genuine question.
