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.

Racism isn't inherent to capitalism. Racism in the U.S. is very low yet capitalism still exists.
Edit: I realize I don't know what this image is saying. All these things have come together to make what we call Capitalism. I forgot what my original point was. I guess a lot of these are similar to racism in that they're not "inherent", just convenient.
You thought it was good idea to type that and hit Submit?!?!
What's wrong with it?
Racism isn't low in U.S.
Is there anywhere it's low?
Well shit I'd say there is plenty of places it's lower in than in the jolly US of fucking dixy A
Literally give me an example. Americans are a generally accepting group. Very diverse too.
Do I really have to do that? You've elected a deranged white supremacist lunatic for your supreme leader. And then did it again. All that while living in a police state.
Do you even remember George Floyd? This shit being considered controversial was fucking wild. And things haven't improved one bit ever since.
And don't get me started on the US fucking history.
But fine, maybe I'm being overly zealous - after all, that applies only to the black... And also the hispanic... And also the Indian... And also the Filipino... And the Chinese... And also [...]
Once again not giving an example. You probably know that the Western world is very much at the low end of the racisn spectrum, or at least its population is.
I gave you two very explicit examples even though you only asked for one. Or are you trying to say that neither Donald Trump's victory nor George Floyd's murder signal there's anything deeply wrong with modern day Americans. In that case - sorry, I can't help you.
And don't you go trying to switch the main focus of this conversation onto the west as a whole, because your very own claim was only about the America.
