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.

Because birthing is a very dangerous act and endangers the mother mortally. If you wanted to genocide someone you'd start with the children and women, with a Lack of women the men will follow suit, because of lethal competition and the aforementioned wars.

The lack of birth control is exactly exacerbating that.

With a lack of birth control it is not the amount of workers that rise, bit the amount of dead women and children during the birth process.

We are beyond the profit Phase of capitalism, they fell into AI psychosis and think they dont need us anymor, since soon AI can replace our necessity.

Birth rates fell significantly in the late 1800s, before modern birth control was an option.

And one key factor was that kids became a financial liability.

That did not change in 200 years.

You would think if the owning class was interested in many workers that this problem wouldve been Adresse by now.

But birth rates continue to fall, while child mortally rises.
