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.

Ah yes if you don't vote for genociders you're a genocider. Water is dry and war is peace.

I hope your mum gets liquified by iran

Fuck the democrats. We still have to vote for whatever the other option is here. There are Christi-fascists in power right now. I would fucking love to get excited about a candidate that has an actual plan to materially improve the lives of the working class. But we are not in that position right now. We are fucked, so let’s get literally any non-fascist in to the Presidency. From there we have to find someone who will take us leftward.

Abstaining is a selfish position.

There is a path we have to follow to get where we need to be. Israel should be made to pay dearly for what they have done and continue to do. The entire government as well as anyone who has served in the IOF should be at The Hague.

Grow the hell up.

fuck the Democrats, but still vote for them because they are our only hope to continue the facism they've helped enable.

This is what you sound like

So you have to stop the fucking bleeding. The tourniquet is painful, but unfortunately is needed for the moment. I’m all for tearing the system down, but we have zero chance of that happening right now.

What’s your solution? An actual viable plan? Or do you decide not to participate?

Let’s come back to reality, where solutions are messy, and take time.

Yes at least the "non fascist" will only bomb foreigners and who cares about them am i right

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The fuck are you on? There is no possible way to elect/install a leader that will end all of the military campaigns throughout the world. So rather than abstaining, which is stupid, we have to work with what we’ve got right now.

What’s your next edgy retort?

If they know you will vote for them , there is zero reason why they would listen to you. Not a rocket science

Primaries are designed to manipulate your consent for their preferred candidate. Primaries have zero impact if you refuse to hold them accountable.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

The bullshit of the lesser of two evil apply on primaries. Most people still vote for the two parties so there is zero reason why they would listen to you.

What youve got is a system that needs to be destroyed

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Oh no doubt! My personal views on what I believe should happen are…not popular anywhere but in here and other similar places

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He doesn't need to end ALL military campaigns throughout the world.

Just america's

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I should have been more explicit. Ending all of the US military campaigns throughout the world. Next?

[–] toad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

yea americans bombing brown people is UNAVOIDABLE! There is no alternative. Kinda like the genocide in gaza, it's nobody's fault, just a fact of life.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah! If you're being fucked by the political class, you take the penis out first, and then you sock em in the jaw.
