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.

No, all that will do is make republicans win in former Dem safehouses

You woefully underestimate how much the deck is intentionally stacked against everyone but the big two

then their party needs to work harder to EARN those votes

Yes! Genius!

Why has nobody thought of that before???

Oh wait... they have. It was found to not work unless you're in a "safe" voting block, and if you're living anywhere with any amount of swing to it, you INSTEAD make the party you hate win.

Cool, but one is trying to destroy your rights quickly, putting people into camps, and treating LGBTQ as monsters.

one is trying to do it slowly, not putting people in camps, and it's pretty chill with LGBTQ, which is better?

The latter!
