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.

Serfs get the benefit of living in a hovel on their lord's manor so long as they continue to work to expand their lord's fortune.

Or if they're not willing to do that, they get the benefit of a burial.

Best we can do is 1099 with pre-ACA "swiss cheese" cover healthcare including pre-existing conditions. As for retirement savings, we'll place 1% of your salary into our the trump memecoin, but it doesn't actually vest until you turn 65 so you can't sell it before hand. How does that sound?

what benefits? the streets had to be painted red with communist and syndicalist blood for us to have it.

Yes, communism leads to tens of millions being killed/starved, during and after the takeover. Meanwhile characters like Mao enjoyed luxury and women.

Fuck communism.
