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.

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.

Italian anarchists tried to organize a united front of the left and the unions to resist the Fascists physically, but the Socialist and Communist parties would not agree. A decade later, Leon Trotsky similarly urged the German Socialists and Communists to cooperate in combatting the Nazi Storm Troopers, with a similar lack of action by the Social Democrats and Stalinists.

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