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.

I recently tend to think they are actually at their wits' end.
A few of them might be, but politics are like fines--inconsequential to the super rich. The disgustingly wealthy can just bail when things get bad. And if sabotaging an entire nation gets them more money in the next quarter, they'll do it.
It’s not a mystery at all. It’s dark enlightenment that they proudly espouse whenever they can. Destroy the state and have a bunch of tech bro kings with little kingdoms.
The entire prose of their belief is wrong.
Fascism and capitalism are like peas in a pod.
I mean, the US can do whatever it wants to itself, people voted for this anyway. Just don't drag the rest of the world down as well, please.
Fewer than 1 in 4 American adults voted for this
They have nukes and military bases everywhere, it'll affect everyone, there's no way the mess stays contained within the US.
Phase 2 - annexation of other countries, or parts thereof - is yet to start. Surely that would serve to quieten the home front, not to mention to make the rich even richer, by an awful lot. Hell, we'll get to see the world's first trillionaire for sure.
