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.

Not that I downvoted. The sentiment is good. But while Lenin has some very quotable phrases, his actual implementation of government was fascism, concentration camps, and slavery, and not just of the rich but many repressed minority groups. Centralized power and secret police is far right wing politically and quite far from communism. And ultimately even his economic policies after taking control of property and a few larger businesses, gave control, if not legal ownership, of most everything to just a different small minority of the powerful, not to the workers.
So he talked a good anticapitalist propaganda, but didn't practice good communism at all and ultimately put Russia on the path to a long period of fascism with Stalin, the USSR, Putin, etc.
There are tons of better communists to quote.
To place Russian communism on the same moral level with Nazi fascism, because both are totalitarian, is, at best, superficial, in the worse case it is fascism. He who insists on this equality may be a democrat; in truth and in his heart, he is already a fascist, and will surely fight fascism with insincerity and appearance, but with complete hatred only communism.
