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 expensive to be poor. It's harder to get out poverty than to be born wealthy with family that has connections and opportunities. Spend your money extremely wisely, because it's the real way we vote in this system.

I've asked myself the question a lot lately, "What am I spending money on that's a waste perpetuating this broken system which I could stop spending today?"

The only way to rise is to be smarter than the systems designed to drag us down. If you need a clear example, just look at a casino.

Not really, that's an absolute. The way to win is to be smart about how you spend your money. Don't be wasteful.

Capitalists own everything so any money you spend is propping them up. If i go live out in the woods they don’t win.

You're so right. This is the way we can solve poverty in the West. We just need you to build some curriculum and train a team of trainers. Then we can send all of you out there and just teach people how to win. Such a missed opportunity over the last thousand years that we haven't figured it out yet. Thank God you're here
