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.

Any company that goes public and takes on Shareholders is immediately evil.

Once shareholders are involved, nothing else matters.

Giving your employees a raise will make the shareprice rise slightly less than it would have? Fuck you...no raises.
Providing Healthcare means a lower profit margin which will hurt the share price? Fuck you...die in a ditch.
Paying a living wage means having to take something from the CEO's bonus that year? Fuck you...that's what food banks are for.

The moment shareholders enter the picture, by LAW, they become the only entity that matters. Corporations are legally required to increase shareholder profitability by any means necessary.

Welcome to Capitalism.
