Late Stage Capitalism

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.

If that were true Analilia Mejia wouldn't have beaten Tom Malinowski. She did.

If that were true, Cuomo would've beaten Mamdani. He didn't.

If that were true Janet Mills would be winning her primary. She's not.

Yep, we've thwarted them for now, in a few exceptional instances.

But a few examples don't matter in the long run. Look at what happened after Ross Perot. They're already figuring out how to strengthen their hold on our institutions so these few scattered examples aren't repeatable.
