Late Stage Capitalism
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.

TBH, this headline pissed me off.
When it comes to the poor and middle class it's always "tough choices". When something largely benefits the rich, who don't actually fucking work and are making most of their money off of interest and capital gains, that language is never employed. Hell, these parties voted to make tens of billions appear overnight for a war they could plainly see was already a failure. How was that not a "touch choices"?
I've heard a very cool idea being bandied about: Dems taking power, fining every company that got a tariff refund and didn't return it, and ordering those funds returned to consumers.
Seems like a good one. You can be anti-corruption, anti-tariff and pro-affordability in one move.
Chances are they'll waste the next two years on sham hearings thought.
