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,' etc.

The US got hit by an alien Raygun?
Yes. Thankfully she died on the way back to her home planet.
Freedom isn’t free. It costs lots of money and time off your life. It also costs some freedoms.
It costs a hefty fuckin fee. If you don't pay your buck 'o five, who will?
It’s 1.74 in today’s money.
A problem fully unique to USA eh?
If you look at the Germany graph you can see that we privatized more and more of health care in recent decades.
well, ... would that come as a surprise then?
Damn, if the US spent as much as they do now, but had Israel's healthcare system, life expectancy would be 130 years!
I wonder who pays for Israel's health care system?
That flat line after Obamacare is oof
You mean the most significant piece of legislation that Democrats have passed this century? The one that gave up on systemic changes before debate even started? Man, I wonder why people aren't excited to vote for them.
What's funny is that in the USA it's per capita for the whole country but it only covers a third of the population!
