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.

If nothing can be fixed even with that much power, then it seems to me that the system is fundamentally broken and has no capacity to repair itself.
If you internalize that and put your back against the wall, then you may find that the position of commander-in-chief of the most expensive military in the world, with control of an incredibly powerful intelligence apparatus, provides quite a bit more power than a half-dozen senior citizens in robes.
You want my plan? Wait for a good time, like, right after the decision about overturning Roe v Wade was leaked, and have the justices arrested for corruption (it's not as though they aren't horribly corrupt, after all). Then, all you have to do is wait for them to decide to hang themselves at the exact same time that multiple cameras on the cell fail and the guards are off taking a nap together, you know, one of those funny coincidences like what happened with Epstein.
You don't like that approach? You come up with plan. We're the ones who don't believe in the system. If there's no legal answer to your question, then doesn't that just prove that extralegal means are the only way?
