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.

To be fair, someone has to do it.

the people who suggest this always excuse themselves out of doing it.

Are you suggesting that you're not good at being a slave but you can be a slave master?

These companies are making a bank out of planned obsolescence, and they can do so because their workers are cheap.

In a throwaway culture, you do not want to be a generic factory worker, because your time and efforts will be worth almost nothing.

It doesn't have to be this way, but cheap labor from places like China has enabled this culture. If you don't want to be a slave, you have to change that culture.

Edit: As others have said, certain classes of people will be exempt from having to work in factories in his mind. It's not this bastard's children or grandchildren he is referring to of course.

But not his kids or any of the administration's kids.
