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, I'm not an accelerationist. I both don't believe what you claim, nor is that even what accelerationism is. I am a communist, I seek and organize for socialist revolution, which both has occurred in history and is a practical necessity.
I do not believe making the world worse is a path to socialism. I believe that capitalism regularly runs into crisis, which frequently expands the scale of each successive crisis, and that at these points the masses of the people can take matters into their own hands and establish a socialist society if they are sufficiently educated, class conscious, and organized.
Accelerationism is entirely different. The accelerationist view is that we should expedite this crisis by supporting the biggest, most effective capitalists, so that concentration of capital accelerates most efficiently, bringing about the collapse of capitalism sooner. The accelerationist doesn't want to elect Republicans and sabotage socialists, the accelerationist wants to support the Democrats as the more effective and stable stewards of imperialism.
I support neither the Republicans or Democrats. I support workers organizing outside of the electoral system, employing the time-tested revolutionary strategy I outlined above. I'm a communist.
