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.

So long, Mom

I'm off to drop the bomb

So don't wait up for me

But while you swelter

Down there in your shelter

You can see me

On your TV

While we're attacking frontally

Watch Brinkally and Huntally

Describing contrapuntally

The cities we have lost

No need for you to miss a minute

Of the agonizing holocaust

Whoa cool, the only Tom Lehrer song I've heard of before is "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," I didn't know he wrote political songs too.

Ooooooh you're in for a treat then! Just a few years ago in 2022 he released all his songs from copyright and you can check out every song on his website! (Or any YouTube video of course)

I suggest 'Who's Next?' for your next listen

Some people are gone too soon even if they're old when they die
