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.

the actual mistake of politics is that we have given in to vibes-based voting instead of actually looking at policy proposals and commenting on those.

Yes, there's a lot of with us or against us instead of does this policy make people's lives better?

It's how states get representatives like NC and Tricia Cotham, who ran as a progressive then just switched her entire platform once elected.

Democracy is the people, and the people are for their emotional validation.

Didn't the ancient greeks point out the exact same problem and basically outlined the cycle of falls?
