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, anti-communism, 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 okay, just keep not reading what I said and responding to points that I didn't make. It's fine, we don't need to have a good faith discussion if you're so intent on relying on strawman arguments.
And by the way:
That's demonstrably false. Emancipation was incremental progress. Voting rights were incremental progress. The Civil Rights Movement was incremental progress. None of those things were immediately perfect solutions, but they all made steps towards a more just system, and they all paved the way for further progress. That's the definition of incrementalism.
Unless you want to argue that each one fixed everything perfectly as soon as it was implemented? If that were the case, then why would the ones that followed have been necessary? Or are you saying that the progress they achieved was actually marching towards the right? Because that would be as ridiculous as claiming that they achieved no progress at all simply because it wasn't perfect.
