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.

At this point I'm convinced that wealth disparity is just a knob they twist by printing money and doing stock market manipulation, and they found the right spot where we keep working and are terrified to strike, and also complacent enough to keep just watching TV and trying to ignore the ridiculousness.

State controlled social media generates the signal they interpret to know how much to twist the inflation knob, AI and misinformation is another knob they twist to allow greater wealth disparity by convincing people their hunger pains are caused by something else, and it's like a weird management game to them where they want to keep us working as hard as possible, to the point we won't even take a day off during a fucking pandemic.
