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.

Lesser evil voting is simply the limited options given to us under a broken system.

Until the system can be broken, I'd still rather attempt to cause less harm and impede the organization to break the system as little as possible.

I'll vote for the least establishment option amongst our de-facto options presented when it's time to vote. In the meantime I'll help with organizing, with advocacy, with 3rd party groups, with building alternatives to our capitalist system to support the revolution when it's time.

Would you rather me not vote and allow one more to not be countered towards the more establishment option that would work towards pulling back our rights even faster?

There shouldn't be any death camps, fucking obviously, but that would be 1 less we have to destroy in the coming days. Work to break the system so we don't have death camps, but also work to slow it down as much as possible so we have less to fight to break the system.
