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.

They did the same in Tulsa's Greenwood district

I figured that's what Aeao was referencing to begin with, considering that he wrote "blow it up" and I don't think he was being figurative.

Frankly, even though we're citing both of them as examples of black wealth being suppressed for the purpose of this discussion, I would struggle to call Tulsa and Atlanta "the same" because the tactics were so much more brutal in the former (firebombing and mass-murder vs. eminent domain).

I get them all mixed up. It’s happened a lot I different ways. But yeas they blew one the fuck up.

And yeah it’s hard to rank “bad” blown up and killed is worse. It is all bad tho, they other time they would’ve used a bomb if they needed to.
