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.

No one needed to sell out the Democrats. When Nixon was president, the entire time the Democrats held strong majorities in both bodies of the legislature. You know what they did with it? They joined Nixon in developing the war on drugs to turn normal legal behavior into felonies that would disenfranchise Black people and those that associated with them.
The Ds have ALWAYS been this evil. No one needed to sell them out. They have always been a faction of the elite collaborating with the other factions of the elite.
When Nixon was around, conservative Dixiecrats were still a thing. You can't really compare across different party systems.
Sure, that's why Biden was different when he architected the crime bill and why Clinton was different when he went after Black "super predators" and spiked racialized incarceration and why Obama was different when he expanded DHS and ICE immensely and appointed Homan and deported 3M people and human rights organizations fought his policies and why Obama and Clinton devastated Libya. Very different
I mean, both Clintons are conservative dixiecrats, and they’re pretty involved in mainstream Democratic politics
Now the default Dem is a conservative further to the right of Nixon.
I think it's like squares and rectangles. All republicans are absolute shitheads. Some Democrats are, too.
They're all rotten.
Yeah Chomsky spoke about it in the 70s as well, I think
Chomsky was personal friends with Epstein and defended him. Let’s stop caring what he said.
Plus he has said some pretty misguided things around 2016, I don't like him. Even before I learned he fucked children with epstein and now is an israeli tool.
Chomsky who flew to pedo island and thought so highly of a Mossad asset.
