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.

You need to buy a few more shares for that to be reality. Consumer shares are not controlling shares and we "poors" will never have any controlling anything when it comes to capital.

Do you understand the volume of us "poors" when it comes to our collective purchasing power? We are indeed part of the problem.

Edit to add I am not talking about end consumer purchasing. I'm talking about large block institutional purchasing done on our behalf.

In Canada that can be through my RPP, my RRSP or the CPP or any other pension that may be available through my work.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That was soooooo funny. Its almost like you think you have some sort of collective economic power in the stock market being a proletariat. The only power you have is one of class consciousness, and you seem to have none.

With all sincerity you are a fucking moron. Educate yourself first, then we can talk.

Im sure boot every day is great. It must be hard on your guts though?

Better than the perceived shit you're being fed through your feeds. The education system really fucked up on you. I'm sorry for that.

You need meds. Maybe get yourself checked for emotional issues. You go from insulting to apologetic in under three seconds. Good luck, out.
