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.

Yo is that a Haggadah for Pesach behind your sticker? I dunno who the Israeli Black Panther are but I'm curious about how they tell the Exodus story differently based on the name alone

it's very interesting, they retell it with Golda Meir being the pharaoh and the Black Panthers fighting for liberation and against colonialism.

they were a group of impoverished arab jews in the 70s who fought for arab rights with Palestinian solidarity.

We're already there. Objectively.

Why do you think Donald's candidates have lost every election in 2025 and 2026, regardless of whether it's a red or blue state/district, and in districts he won by double digits in 2024?

People really are against this.

That's true, and it will be as long as 99% of voters pull the lever for the red or blue team regardless of policy.

Donald didn't ascend in a vacuum and the wealth of fascist, unilateral powers the presidency has were built up and normalized over decades.

Omar El Akkad is kind of a lib unfortunately. This book has multiple instances of him reporting CIA propaganda about Ukraine and China. Check out "Perfect Victims" by Mohammed El Kurd. Goes even harder than this book.

that book goes really hard. really good read

War comes from unlimited money printing by the Fed, as the government forces other countries to trade in USD absorbing the inflation.

I don't see it as capitalism, its operates more like North Korea, except globally and with a lot more military power.
