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.

Extreme ideas like capping populations at a fixed number and further dividing people arbitrarily due to weird rules, people who have the same culture and language and identify as the same people but have different statuses and lifestyles due to their current governing body ... This all requires really strong authoritarianism, and a crackdown on human rights to control the growth of the population and a strong military to keep borders in check.

It would fucking suck. It just means more borders, less places you're allowed to be, stronger military police forces to enforce these things, and people getting in trouble for being pregnant or having too many kids or hopping a border to live with family they got separated from.
