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, 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.

Trump is just the symptom, he is not the disease.

When he leaves office (by hook or by crook) the disease will remain; they have purchased replacements already.

Like Squid Game -- the billionaires have already chosen a replacement and continuing the operations.

He is absolutely a disease, he just isn't the only one

We had them. USA used to bust up companies and revoke business licenses with regularity

Unfortunately, we also had "campaign donations" and then we had "corporations are people" and "money is free speech" and after 60 years here we are.

Our political system can't be fixed by laws at this point, those receiving all of those "donations" will not willingly legislate their wealth away. Look at them. Pelosi has never turned down a check in her life. McConnell got rich for over FORTY YEARS. and so on
