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.

Yes. In the context of the original post and my comment (the isms, or ideologies), exactly this.
The first definition is not relevant to capitalism, it is the same usage as their "artist to artism" point, but it is literal and not a confused fallacy trying to introduce an ism that does not exist. An artist is to art, as a capitalist is to capital. However, we're talking about isms here, nothing they've tried to raise.
That should have been obvious from the original post; if not, by my comment; if not, especially as they typed out their artism argument; if not, certainly by the time they consulted the dictionary. Four whooshes.
