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.

Mao Zedong is a hero who fought against Western imperialism and for the working class.
Mao killed more Chinese people than anyone else.
He put more into fighting Japanese imperialism and Soviet imperialism. The way he fought western imperialism is by banning books and putting intellectuals into work camps or killing them outright.
Just sounds like you don’t understand communism is a form of anarchy
In theory sure they are similar.
Real world existing communists in power cause endless suffering and death though.
The mensheviks were bloodthirsty war mongers who repressed the working class. And Pol Pot wasn't even a socialist.
I think the point is that Chinese and Russian communism are not real communism. They are authoritarian capitalist regimes with a pinch of socialism. (Which even the USA has) that only call themselves communist.
They were lead by communists believing in communism organized in a communist party. That’s what the ideology leads to.
Yes but we don't call electric motors diesel motors anymore either do we?
I don't care that people call them commies but it's not correct in the literal sense.
Your entire comment history reads like a typical BlueMAGA shitlib, you are an enabler of fascism
You guys focus way too much on division.
They always are. Cowards who are to chicken to admit what they believe.
