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.

What all theory, no history does to a mfer -
You'll be thinking the "Lumpen" are just expendable, based on Marx's own prejudices instead of the most successful revolutionary class, within your arbitrary definitions.
You know what? Go read some theory from the 21st century. Go read some Graeber.
The theory, regardless how old it is, remains unchanged. The same struggles we face today were the same struggles from 200 years ago
If your theory does not adapt to reality as demonstrated by history, any claim of "scientific" socialism is just Capitalist Marketing.
In socialism everyone that are able are expected to contribute. Those that choose not to contribute when they are able to are excluded. There are no freeloaders.
Those that do not work do not eat.
This is why we can't have nice things
We can't have no e things because too many people defend capitalism and its exploitation. Which is wild because none of them have, and never will, any level of capital
