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, anti-communism, 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.

*Two parties to be played by. The existence of two parties allows the ruling class to launder their neoliberalism and/or fascism through a "legitimate" political process. If there was only one party people would actually take to the streets.
And maybe there's a way to do that better than carrying water for the "lesser evil" that ends up losing to fascists anyway? The model you're proposing has decisively failed anyway; might as well try something else.
How's that trying something else going for ya?
Curses! You've cracked the code! This is the very first generation to believe in morality, and that fixed everything!
By increasing suffering, you're actually better than everyone else, see! It'll get way worse, eventually failing, and in that power vacuum, only good people will seize control!
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
