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.

That just boils down to "whatever I don't like is fascism". It's worthless. Thougj it can take many forms, there are absolute characteristics that define fascism.

Those rules applied to those times. That's only applicable if you are historically and politically illiterate
I'm inclined to think that Umberto Eco knows what he is talking about better than any present company here.
I'm betting you don't know a single thing about him other than that list
I've read Foucault's Pendulum and I know he lived through fascist Italy.
But right now you're living in fascist America and can't see the total picture of fascism
Implying that you don't live in America and can see the whole picture? What superior enlightened country do you live in?
