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.

This is 100% true, important, but not an argument against no kings.
We need black block, we need miltant protest camps outside ice facilities, we need people de-arresting ice's intended victims, we need preprations for a general strike, we need direct action AND we need large scale peaceful marches.
We need radicals AND we need coddled middle class dems who we disagree with on many points but who also oppose fascism.
plus this is the perfect opportunity to organize to go literally talk to them.
if not us, fascism will find a way to, like we've seen in the past so often.
not all of these people are militant irreductible libs.
Yeah, I feel like a lot of arguments like OP is coming from non-americans who don't understand how to organize from scratch, with paranoid people, and neighbors you can't really get to know because everybody's on a yearly lease.
Like, okay, sure I'll go punch a cop. Then I get shot, and my death is supposed to... make a magic anime shimmer and lift the evil from the land? Going on strike without a union is just called getting fired.
I don't understand how direct action is supposed to work if we don't build the community first?
Basically, we need to be like the French.
But they don't oppose fascism, they just don't like it being tacky and causing a scene. They'll slit your throats from behind just like the SPD in Germany.
I don’t like how you stated that, but I partly agree. The ones yelling from the back like the dems telling you that we need to just chill out and move forward are the same ones profiting from the status quo, they just don’t beat the shit out of you or shoot you in the street the way the fascists do. They should not be trusted, their spineless inaction allowed the fascist and corporate takeover in the first place.
They must first realize their party is part of that fascism they oppose
