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.

So, how come people don't just skip insurance? Is there some stupid law that forces you to have insurance? Or is insurance somehow cheaper?
Yes actually.
Only when Obama was in office. But for some people paying the fine was cheaper.
Actually, the fine was cheaper. It was only like $90 for the whole effing year! Monthly premiums for insurance are way more than $90
So yeah, O-bummer was kinda stupid in that descision
It's also mandated that your employer provide insurance coverage for you, or they get fined. And those fines are pretty serious.
