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.

Absolutely not, I agree.
But it's also kinda like Republicans saying they'll "repeal then replace" the ACA. You need the plan for the replacement beforehand, otherwise you just return to the old problems.
I mean, sure if you take anything a Republic pol says at face value. The real agenda is that they want to return to the old problems because they don't view it as a problem. Insurance companies having capped margins, fewer people being able to afford care… These are good things to them. What they say they want to do serves only to get their voting base on board with it.
