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.

Every fucking day it’s anothe democrat texting me, begging me for more money I don’t have.

I don’t have $5 you fucks. You stole it when you raised my taxes, gave me shit, and then bailed out more billionaire cronies.

Which Democrats raised your taxes? Let's look at the legislation then we can look at who voted which way on it.

Biden, when he was asked his first day in office if he will be repealing Trump's tax cuts for the rich. He firmly said no.

Got a source for that lie? I don't see anything regarding Trump's tax cuts on Biden's day one agenda, nor can I find any relevant Biden quotes.

And even if it wasn't a complete fabrication on your part, it still wouldn't answer the question. Biden didn't raise your taxes. You said it yourself, it was Trump's policy.

He also campaigned on eliminating Trump's tax cuts to the rich, which didn't happen.
