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.

Harm reduction is not a thing. Harm reduction is bullshit that liberals tell themselves because they know that what they support is evil. What they support is harm.
Harm reduction is doing your best to avoid the spillover that will inevitably occur when you take violent action against the root of the problem. The people who vote for and support this are still human regardless of how inhuman they behave. They still have families that may or may not be as irredeemable as they are. Some of the them have children. If we wipe them out en masse, family and all, what does that say about us?
But what needs done needs done and it’s the individuals that do that will have to live with the choices they make. Future generations will have to weigh whether our acts were noble and just or morally compromised and leaning towards revenge. Personally, I’m fine with revenge clearing the board, the better of us can figure out what to do with a clean slate and a clean conscience.
She and her party may not have sent troops into the city but they built up and funded ICE which allowed trump to do so. Democrats always build the foundations for Republicans to commit behind against the working class. We have 69 cop cities across the US with cops being trained by ID Fucking F because of Biden and Co. Harris wanted the world most lethal military and was hawkish on bombing Iran.
Liberal "lesser of two evils" & "harm reduction" relies on constantly fearing a hypothetical "worse" future so you won't spend time thinking about the already terrible present. Keeping you always asking for the potential of something better later instead of demanding better NOW
Reduce harm for whom? Harris wouldn't have bombed Iran, but she'd have continued the economic war that was slowly destroying Iran and condemning its people to a slow death. Instead we got Trump, who stuck his dick in the beehive and has ruined the US's chances at ever controlling West Asia ever again. Under Harris the US empire would have kept limping along, but Trump has ensured its collapse in the region. Then, without US support, Israel will collapse. The Axis is going to win and it's all Trump's fault.
And this is just the beginning. I expect the economy to collapse once the strategic oil reserve runs out, and then things get really interesting. Then we aren't just looking at the end of the US empire in West Asia, we're looking at the end of the US as a country.
That means Trump was the lesser evil. Bad news for us living in the US, but who cares? I deserve to die anyway.
If your vote for a Democrat enables people like Trump you've reduced nothing. Not having the balls to refuse any harm accelerates harm.
