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.

Both parties suck, but one party can be conquered, and reconfigured to reflect what we want.

That's exactly what the Radical Republicans did. They started in the 90s with Gingrich's Contract With America, and slowly took over the party, taking it more and more right, through the Tea Party, and eventually MAGA.

Dems can do the same thing, and now that they have the playbook, they can speed up the process. They don't have get in the mud, and cheat and steal, but they do absolutely have to play Hard Ball, and force the DNC to do what we want. The Republicans did it, and their leaders aren't nearly as weak as Dem leaders.
