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.

It's 2026 and there are still people who think there's more than one political party in the US.
Even worse, some of them are convinced that just spending 3 minutes of their life signing a piece of paper will be enough to change anything.
Note that I'm not discouraging anyone from voting. I don't care whether you do or don't, but I'd strongly encourage you to do literally anything else either instead of or on top of voting.
Just voting is how we got two world wars, with a third one well on its way, a dozen genocides, countless people dying from lack of access to basic necessities, and so on.
Clearly it's not enough. And not just in the US, but everywhere.
We can fucking tell. Go away.
