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.

I understand that first past the post means whoever wins first, wins. The only thing preventing a non oligarch from winning is voters. But voters are terrified of losing the privileges that the status quo provides them.
You can't stop fascism if you don't recognize it
Centrism enables fascism. Liberalism enables fascism.
A vote for either fascist is the spoiler
The only thing that enables fascism is infighting among non-fascists. Instead of pointing fingers at everyone else, look in the mirror. Your politics vs my politics are irrelevant. All that matters is beating fascism.
You enable fascism, therefore can't be nonfascist
You refuse to fight fascism beside me, so you enable fascism.
Again, you are not fighting fascism, you are enabling it.
Again, you don't know the definition of fascism.

Similar things happened in Spain. Either accept Democrats as allies against fascism, or enable fascism. Those are the only choices.
