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.

This 'centrist' hegemony is collapsing here in the UK. For generations there has been a prevailing belief that a vote for anyone outside of the Labour/Conservative duopoly would be wasted, and they have been free to abuse that. People on both the left and right are sick of it now though.
In the US, I think we're starting to realize that Biden was a Republican light. There's a sparkle of hope.
He wasn't even Republican light. He was a first-term Trump Republican. By 2032 the entire DNC will be second term Trump Republicans
what gave it away...the republican endorsements at the DNC?
Sadly the prevailing third party is Reform which... Well, god help us all.
I think they might have peaked too early. Or rather Trumpism has peaked and is visibly failing too soon before a UK general election where Reform can expect enough people to buy their implementation of it.
