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.

Wow, its almost like electorialism is a fundamentally broken tool that does not allow you to change the system!

How is what you are arguing not an argument against voting?

Then revolt AND vote at the same time.

There really is no reason to only do one of them.

"Oh you pointed out that voting for democrats is worse than nothing? Well better immediately organize a violent revolution, otherwise your argument is moot!"

You are aware there's other things a person can do than vote or immediately lead a proletarian uprising, right? You understand how disingenuous a proposition it is you are making, right?

There really is no reason to only do one of them.

Following your line of argument there is no reason to vote.
