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.

Minorities be like: Wtf bro. We've only been telling you this since forever.
But now its effecting us!
Material needs have been given to the rich and the cops are there to keep it that way.
Their first job is to protect capital and that includes capitalists.
They are telling you to shut up and stop bothering them with your constant whining for things you need to survive. They spend more preventing you from getting things you need than they do ensuring you can get them. They don't care about us.
It all makes sense when you realize the government is just another player in the game. Conflict Theory.
It's true.
And they've rigged the game at both ends by driving down wages and privatizing the prison and war industries. Poverty is profitable. It's just a bonus that it's all exceedingly cruel too, because as we're seeing in the US, Canada, France, India, and elsewhere... the people in charge rather enjoy the systemic cruelty.
Feeling represented yet?
And they will tell what right out those are their priorities.
