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.

it's almost as if systems are tools that can be used for good or for evil, and have been invented to deal with certain problems, and can cause others of their own making, necessitating new tools to replace them and fix the problems they created.
Yes, but your statements inaccurately imply a certain equivalence between communism and capitalism that does not hold. Capitalism is hell when done properly. Socialism is good when done properly.
And the inverse can also be correct then, which is my entire point, although I word it more that any system can work correctly if the right people make the right decisions.
