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.

Agreed on the 100%, They always expect the same or more. I still maintain that silent resistance doesn't affect the employer. Maybe those who think this is the way are just enjoying leeching off the others who aren't avoiding most of the work. And this is why nothing changes, it turns into in-fighting between the oppressed rather than betterment for all the workers. Exactly how they want it.
I don't normally comment on downvotes, as I don't really care about them. I put out my opinion, discuss anything presented. But I do have to ask the downvoters - so if people are doing exactly this, HAVE been doing this, stretching out their down time to stick it to the man... we know it's always been a thing to do. And yet we're still doing this shit. It might not be working to make a difference. Maybe. But hey, questioning the tactic I guess is viewed negatively and with a silent vote against, without any actual discussion of why it's a good method to bring power back to the workers. I again suggest maybe some are enjoying things like they are, and not just the higher ups.
