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, anti-communism, 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.

When leftists say abolish the police, liberals side with the police.

When leftists say abolish borders, liberals side with border enforcement.

When leftists seek to dismantle fascist systems of oppression, liberals side with the fascists.

Leftists calling out the hypocrisy of liberals is not infighting, it is an open attack against an enemy that cosplasys as left while actively aiding and abetting fascist ideolgies with "both sides have valid points" bullshit.

Liberals want to go back to Obama's America, but refuae to reconcile with the fact that Obama's America still dropped bombs on schools and used violent force to deport immigrants and attack marginalized communities.

Liberals only want business as usual, with the violence kept out of their line of sight. Leftists are actively seeking to dismantle systems of oppression, and replace them with systems that take action to reduce harm. They are not the same.
