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’m not going to say that Putin is right about his politics, weaponized mass humanitarian sabotage, military choices, personal style, or really anything else, but I’ve always liked that he pops the heads off of his oligarchs to drink their fortunes from their still pulsating necks. Wish the IRS had the balls to do the same.
Except not really. If you're loyal to him, everything's fine... but if you go against him, you'll fall out a window. And all the US oligarchs basically do the same thing.
In the US, they execute people for their money?
No, and they don't really do that in Russia either. The goal is to get everyone bowing down to the leader, falling out of windows is just the easiest way for the state to get a loyal crony running the company. The US just likes to do it in other ways.
