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.

one side believes discrimination is completely unacceptable and the other belives it in necessary, there won't be any bridges between those sides anytime soon
The sides here are leftists on one side and dems/rebuplicans on the other, right? I was writing out a comment as if that's not what you meant before I realized I probly misinterpreted your comment
thinking about my argument more made me realize that actually all sides love discrimination, it's just that sone like to claim it isn't discrimination.
(I was initially thinking of democrats/left vs republicans because one side is openly racist and the other claims to opposes it)
Well, the actual left (as opposed to "democrats/'left'") wants to do away with the prison-industrial complex, borders, means-testing, etc, and ofc capitalism itself- all of which are just dressed up systemic discrimination. I don't think it's fair to say that leftists love discrimination. Some leftists (namely "tankies") believe in what you might consider discrimination as a means to an end, but I don't think that means they love discrimination itself
Discrimination by wealth/ age/tolerance is still discrimination.
I'm not sure what you're implying by this
You're probably right but I gotta hang on to hope so I can sleep at night
