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.

And qute true - except food and housing - all did happen in easte european socialism, maybe evenmore. For food and housing, very very basics were provided by some govs, but none could have more, no matter one tried, all was stolen by gov and The Party.
Both systems are very fragile to corruption, socialism probably even more, coz peoples are peoples. By pure definition, both systems are (could be) awesome.
I don’t see how there’s any scenario where capitalism “is awesome.” It’s always a system where the working class is enslaved to the wealthy.
