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.

the us is so insanely corupt I need to leave this shit country
If you have a skilled occupation, it's easy. Just leave. There are cars, buses and planes that easily can you take to another country. Even if you're unskilled, you could find a entry job and work your way up from there. It is best to get a visa to live somewhere else first but it can be done retrospectivly and nobody else treats you like a criminal like ICE does. There is nothing stopping you except yourself - I say this as someone who has lived in multiple different countries around the world (not one just next to each other either a la Europe) - many USians say they should leave and they never do. It'll literally be the best thing you do to make your life better.
Edit: I don't care about the downvotes. If "aww...but meemah will miss me" is a problem then stay there. I don't care. You make your own bed. If you actually want a better life, you'd find a way. Don't bitch about it if you've got no desire to actually fix your life.
And I do realise this is a form of privilege. I was brought up in a stable home which allowed me to go my own way. And the privalege to say to my parents, sorry, I'm leaving you to fend for yourself as I need something better for my family. It was hard. They haven't been prouder of me that I was willing to abandon them. To them, they'd done their job and raised a child willing to fight for what they needed to live. What was better is that I was able to bring them out to join me and they enjoyed the better life too.
For some people it's not just so easy to leave. A lot of people have extended families that rely on them
Im guessing that when its my time, its my time. I dont got no funds to get on no life sustaining squat nor do i want to. If its something thats gonna require some pricy maintence drug, i'd much rather peace out
Btw: heres where being child free is an advantage
