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. This includes instance shaming.

I'm sorry what is the relevance to this sub exactly?
Isn't this the same LSC from Reddit?
No clue. I havent used Reddit in ages. Even if it is, how does Russia's fascist land war relate to late stage capitalism?
I consider it a war against western expansion towards Russia's borders.
Do you think Russia are the good guys?
Do you think the west are the good guys? Because if you do then this is not the community I was expecting
"The West" means nothing to me. Youre talking about culture. I do not give a fuck about a culture. I do give a fuck about the economic system the culture chooses to engage in, and the way that culture regulates themselves (or rather if they get a say in that regulation at all). I do not support any form of capitalism, nor fascism. I especially do no support a system in which the people of the system are not respected or represented. Russia choosing to start a war over nonsense and throwing their entire young male population into the meat grinder shows me they are not a system worth supporting.
Really not sure what you were expecting from a community about Late Stage Capitalism (Something typically associated with the rise of fascism and declining lifestyle for citizens), but if you were expecting a crowd of pro-war people, you were incorrect.
I was a regular of the community on Reddit. They are very anti imperialism which you don't look like. Also judging from your discourse you sound like a liberal.
Russia has an obsession with the northern plains due to the possibility of an invasion and people need to realize that america will do much worse if this will be happening in Mexico for example
Yes yes yes. I am what a liberă would call a tankie. Since my questions about this community. Is it the real LSC or just a liberal run front
You are on Lemmy. There is no "real" anything. It is a federated platform that anyone can do anything with. If someone wants to make a new instance or community, they can.
Look up what liberal means. You clearly don't know the definition. You ālso āppear to hāve forgotten to chānge your keyboārd bāck to English "comrade". Librea is an astronomical sign.
If you are supporting the oligarchy you are not making sure people are not starving and dying of preventable disease
Nothing liberal here
Whew, I am ecstatic that this is not the community you were expecting. I'd hate to see a community based around decrying capitalism get turned into something the has nothing to do with capitalism by someone who appears to misunderstand the very concept behind the original subreddit. Thankfully, idiocy always advertises itself thus. Thank you for your service in outing yourself. Always wonderful to have another username for the tag list.
The original sub is communist. This one seems to not be
Are you suggesting with your post that the Russian Federation is communist? This is entertaining.
The west are not the good guys
But it's Russia that invaded and is trying to expand their borders
Russia want only to protect itself against the possibility of an invasion from nato
Notice how NATO isn't helping Trump in Iran? That's because NATO doesn't attack anyone, it's a defensive treaty.
Nato has attacked a lot of country in the past. And even though they are not technically bombing Iran nato countries do provide logistics support
Countries do what they will, Spain and others dipped early because it's not a NATO operation and they don't want to be a part of it. The point being, NATO is purely defensive.
This is plain stupid. If you watch the flow of US weapons you'll see that almost all NATO countries help the us. And no, Nato is not a defensive alliance. They have been involved In all the conflicts in the middle east and also in Lybia and in Serbia. I can't believe I am having this discussion here
You realize NATO members aren't beholden to NATO right? NATO wasn't involved in Korea or Vietnam, because it had nothing to do with them. Same goes for Iran right now. The only reason they were in Afghanistan is because the US was attacked. Iraq wasn't NATO it was a collection of allies, most of which happened to be NATO, but also included Australia and New Zealand. Libya is the closest it can be said NATO has come to an offensive, though that was in reaction to Gaddafi's human rights violations, and wasn't an invasion to take territory.
As for weapon sales, the US is the worlds biggest arms dealer. We sell guns to everyone, that has nothing to do with NATO.
Nato is an imperialist alliance where all countries mostly share the same goal.
Nato is involved in Iran. And if you mean 9 11 well the us deserved that. And if nato will intervene for human rights violations will be all over Israel Azerbaijan or gulf states but surprise surprise
Nato has fuck all to do with Iran right now. The only real players are the US and the GCC.
Hahaha do you actually believe that? You are dumber than I thought.
Dumb is not knowing several US presidents have acknowledged this, including Biden, as well as numerous top military officials
How bombing Libya was defending Europe?
How forming full sentences hard?
It was a UN-operation, UNSCR 1973 to be precise.
You didn't answer the question. How it was about defending Europe?
Nato is a defensive pact between europeen countries so answer the goddamn question or stop replying.
It was an imperialist war to control Libya ressources, defending libyan was just a bs excuse similar to Putin claim that he attacked Ukraine to fight neo nazis.

TIL the US is European.
Oh boi, you really drank the kool-aid.
NATO is the European arm of US imperialism and a tool to control Europe
Who said Europe is the US? Don't act dumb. You know very well that Europeen countries like France love getting african ressources for cheap or free.
Ah I see, moving the goalpost now.
I am not moving the goal . I always talked about Nato attacking Lybia to control ressources and not to pretect civilians like Nato claimed.
Libya was not a threat to any Nato member
