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.

The regulations on what you’re allowed to sell are pretty crazy. I raised some pigs and got the cast offs from the food bank. Bread and vegetables and grains that were just past the date they could legally be sold as human food.

A lot of the waste is capitalist greed, to be sure, but some of it is due to reall ly strict regulations on what you can sell as food without risking a lawsuit.

I donated about 10 pounds of pork chops to the food bank from the pigs, btw

The issue is the price keeps people from buying it so it hits its best before date. As the dates are coming up they could do price chopping and get it sold.

Yep, we do this in the UK. It works pretty well.
