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.

MODERATORS
Denying it is a frequent theme of fascists protecting fascism.
They want Americans to think that if they vote out the Republicans, the Democrats won’t make it better.
Okay, say the average American buys it. What will the Republicans do to make things better? They’ve had almost two full years unchecked. Where’s the counteroffer? I’m not seeing it.
There is no counteroffer beside they both represent the same capital
So why reward the one who has power over all three branches of your government and is actively making things worse? Even if the other party will do more of the same, show them both that actions do have consequences. Even if it means you have to go back and forth.
It's like churn in the cell phone industry. Staying with the same carrier will never get you more benefits. They know you have to pay someone for cell coverage, but if no one ever switches, there are no incentives to get people to since they won't. But since they do, those incentives exist and can be taken advantage of if you're willing to switch between the big expensive carriers. Or you save your money and use an MVNO. No real incentive there other than the money you save every month.
They aren't "sides," they are at best rival capitalist camps. The sides that matter are classes, and in that the DNC and GOP are aligned on the side of capitalists.
It's so rare that I laugh out loud when looking at memes alone, but this fuckin got me
if only americans could realize that this is what they are voting for.
They will never realize it, they drink up the propaganda as fast as its fed to them
Given that official sources -- like the foia -- are freely available and accessible while openly contradicting unofficial narratives implies that it's now more brain wormed people repeating propaganda to each other than the propaganda itself.
