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.

Well, in my personal opinion the USA shouldn't be forcing prisoners to work in camps with no pay, all the while claiming that we don't have work camps.
But I'm a stickler
Oh they pay them, usually a few cents to dollars on the hour, well below minimum wage. But that's a way different thing than putting people in death camps, which everyone knows that's what's being talked about in this administration. You'd have to be extremely naive to think otherwise.
You are wrong, many are forced to work without pay throughout the country.
Also, the ones that are paid are paid very little, which the prison system gets back by charging them ten bucks for a toothbrush. Semantics.
You should really read up on this at the least, you are sadly misinformed and are embarrassing yourself. Don't make claims about topics you know absolutely nothing about.
Work camps are different than death camps, nice goalpost shift there; it's not fooling anyone
In conclusion, the USA has had work camps for decades and continues to use them. Open your eyes and see.
This administration is well on their way to making death camps, how did you not get that from the beginning...look around you. You are the one who made this conversation about the prison system instead of the actual topic of the post.
