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.

How many times have we heard these opposing party senators say they’re “friends” with each other? They all hang out, wheel and deal, and play their power games at the expense of the country so they can keep their jobs. The rare outsiders get attacked from within.

I distinctly remember RBG fawning over her best friend Scalia when he died.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's the same lady who brought Liz Cheney out on the campaign trail with her. She clearly hasn't learned a thing since losing.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

They never learn anything, it's hard to learn something when you blame everyone else for your self inflicted wounds.

me saying that when she was a candidate because of her pro-cop background

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've never been thrilled about her either. Only voted for her because the alternative was a fascist cheeto in diapers.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd still take her over Trump, or any MAGA.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure. Which is why I said I voted for her instead of trump. But if we had a proper left or left leaning liberal candidate I'd never have voted for her.

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Primary? What's that? Democratic party has picked for us for a long time sadly

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

The cheeto and diapers were the dealbreakers.

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

It was still a smaller "fuck kamala" than the "fuck trump" going through my mind. She sucks but I think it would have been the lesser evil

[–] Dryad@lemmy.world 73 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Establishment democrats are republicans greatest enablers.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 8 points 4 days ago

Punch and Judy.

Harris proves yet again that she is vastly out of touch with the vast majority of the American people.

Wait the genocidal cop is out of touch?

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 44 points 4 days ago

Gross. Nobody’s impressed by the Democrats’ “going high” anymore

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago

remember- they only care abt profit and capital. everything else is just theater.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Daily reminder that you could have both voted for her, and still criticized her, and ideally, protested against her and her government.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, we didnt need a Trump in blackface. When it comes to holding their own people accountable liberals suck worse than MAGA. Remember the whole 'push him left after the election' lie liberals told themselves? The only thing that happened was more BlueMAGA ratchet turning.

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well that's racist as hell. I think she sucked too but you could've found a different way to say she's an imposter.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it must be a fucking duck

I'm not the one whining about mods

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Neither am I? You defending authority "commie"?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 4 days ago (3 children)

When the Dems claw back power, they should make it illegal to name ANYTHING after Trump - no airports, highways, bridges, monuments, buildings, statues, etc. The ONLY exception that should be written into the law is Sewage Treatment Plants.

And his library should be operated entirely as a museum to both MAGA corruption, and political corruption in general - The Donald J Trump Museum of MAGA Political Corruption.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

But they wont, they will talk a big game about normalcy while keeping everyone distracted away from those topics

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's just taking away perfectly good sewage treatment plants from John Oliver. Drumpf can have his name removed from everything, so his family cannot collect royalty/copywrite fees on his name.

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 days ago

That’s right, fuck the establishment ghouls. We need a new party in America that represents anything left of center, if we are to attempt to redeem ourselves and salvage our nation. Dems and Repugs are not it.

[–] some_guy 10 points 4 days ago

Do you not feel bad that a racist piece of shit died?! What is wrong with you!!!!

fuck 'em

[–] CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

But muh tribe

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Wtf! Anyone who writes that bullshit doesn't reflect The People. If you can't say anything nice-- which you shouldn't be able to-- then you don't say a fucking word.

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I guess I just disagree with your take. When people do bad things we should criticize them for supporting those bad things. And I don't care if they are dead.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

Respect is earned while someone is alive. It's not automatically granted because they're dead. If you're a piece of shit alive, I'm going to remember you as a piece of shit dead.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Say what you want the man is funny. If only he weren't such a piece of shit.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Goddamnit Harris.
