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.

It's reading and comprehension
Which is not the definition of iliteracy
Key Aspects of Literacy:
Fundamental Skills: Basic literacy involves reading, writing, speaking, and listening to understand and communicate information, such as filling out forms or reading signs.
Functional Literacy: The ability to use reading and writing skills in everyday life, at home, or on the job to function effectively in society.
Broadened Definition (Modern): Beyond simple reading/writing, literacy now includes digital skills, media literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking in an information-rich world.
Contextual Understanding: Literacy involves understanding social, cultural, and technical contexts, making it a "toolset" rather than just a single ability.
Specialized Literacies: The term often extends to specific knowledge domains, such as computer literacy, financial literacy, or health literacy
