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.

Nope. Once we're into elections, the only way to win is to stop criticizing the candidates we want to win. Whether it's Israeli support (which gop is way worse on), or the candidates laugh, or anything else. During primaries, fight like hell for progressives and non-Israeli-boot-lickers, but then stfu and help the better candidates win in the election.

Sure. And before elections there's another excuse. There's always some excuse to not criticize the genocide wing.

They sure do. At election time: "Now's not the time! Find candidates to support between elections and put them forth! 😡"

Spend three years investigating and discussing alternate candidates: "TANKIEEEEZ! RUZZIAN BOTS! REEEE! 🤬😡🤬😡"

Turtles all the way down.
