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.

That's not what moving the goal posts mean, but aight, buddy.
You can pretend that your revolution or whatever it is you are trying to push for will be successful,. You can pretend it will save everyone. But you would be choosing to sacrifice the vulnerable. They would feel the effects the hardest. And they would have little say in the matter.
In essence, you're an accelerationist. Millions or even billions would die and you would be okay with it for a chance to succeed. Personally, I don't like your odds or your measures. Your outcomes sound great, but I'm not particularly willing to sacrifice others to get what I want. Myself, yes. But not others.
Was I told protecting others was good? That doesn't seem problematic to me. I'm okay with that. I'm sacrificing some of my morals to protect as many people as I can.
