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 key difference is that they do not need to work. The rest of us must work. When the going gets tough, they delegate.
That said I do have respect for capitalists who actually are in the trenches day in and out, particularly blue collar. Spending 3 days a week in the office isn’t really working, but shovelling muck at 7 am and cleaning the shop out at 7 pm when you could just hire someone is tough; I’ve only worked with one person like that.
If they are blue collar, they are not capitalist, that's the working class
Not if they own the company and have sufficient revenue that they can delegate all the tasks to someone else.
