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.

Extremes are political views that increase when the current system fails to convince enough people. In USA and Europe, extremes are growing because of the current failure of capitalism to provide people with lifes that match actual progress. As such capitalism is in its late stage, as was theorized, happening in front of our eyes to see.
Extreme right wants power for the fewest, the fittest for survival, the ones desserving the most. Extreme left wants power for everyone as equal, regardless of stature and place in society.
Not to mean that extreme left is instant heaven on earth, but it can't be said it's authoritarian.
