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.

women can run the 100 meter dash in under 10 seconds. Even though many women cannot actually do so, the statement is true.

No, the implication of this statement is that all women can do this. It's not true.

That's not how English works...

Game this out a bit for me, why in the meme, does this part refer to a very small subset of women:

Women in the USSR were in space

And this one has to refer to all women:

before American women could open a bank account

Well, for me it's basic knowledge of space travel, and the seemingly obvious fact that the USSR didn't send all of their women into space?

Context matters. That is how English works (for better or worse)
